History:
Joanne: "Naran Sands is the name given to a beautiful stretch of coastline in Donegal, West Ireland. On one visit there I felt awed by the sense of God's presence and by the mystery of the spiritual realm. As I danced and ran I could hear the most wonderful sound, I thought maybe it was angels singing".
Lyrics:
I was following somebody's footsteps to this place
A wind was blowing
And I thought I felt you touch my face
And I danced on my own
But I wasn't alone on the hillside
And I sang for the king
I could hear angels sing in the distance
What a mystery, what a mystery
What a mystery, Your love for me,
Your love for me
The stones here are worn
And the flowers are torn from the very sod
In the light of the morn
I am reborn in the sight of God
And I danced on my own
But I wasn't alone on the hillside
And I sang for the king
I could hear angels sing in the distance
What a mystery, what a mystery
What a mystery, Your love for me,
Your love for me
And my heart's on fire
But still I desire the stillness there
This is where it began
In the heart of one man in a night of prayer
And I'm dancing no more
As I lose the shore from my vision
And there's only the sound
Of a gull crying down in the distance
What a mystery, what a mystery
What a mystery, Your love for me,
Your love for me
