IN THE WORLD OF SPIRIT
Tune: If Were A Rich Man
In the world of spirit, radically contingent, trustful expectation, intense shock
Life's impacted by the mystery, and it's all a cloud of awe!
In the world of spirit, revelation of enigma, wheel of fortune, no excuse
One essential task, create the world, sudden reeling, mystery's won the day.
Oneness of all creation, wholly engulfed in marching with all of history,
Binding the wounds of time, everything's worthwhile.
The other world you see through all and move mountains, and there's none to show the way,
All in love with life and all poured out.
In the world of spirit, resurrectional existence, gloriously condemned to waltz.
Rapture walks with woe, struck dumb by bliss, playing in a symphony.
In the world of spirit, irresistibly impelled, and simply all a‑tingle now
Running on an endless marathon, sudden reeling, mystery's won the day.
Repeat 2nd and 3rd verses through "all a‑tingle now"
Coda:
Running on an endless marathon, suddenly deciding I'm the one
Running on an endless marathon, Mystery has won the day.
