God of Wonder
When I see the wonders You have made:
Sky and star,
leaf and blade,
And when I ponder closer still…
all things reveal
a POWER, a WILL…
Oh to know the one behind…
the creation of a
thinking mind.
Then I realize, "Woe of woes"…
Man struggles to
believe, while all creation KNOWS…
Fish, bird, plant, animal or bee…
all immediately
recognize thee.
While I in wonder, the way of my kind…
stagger around as
if quite blind…
Yet worse in fact and too often true…
I raise my fist
to curse at YOU.
For I want to be in control…
I push you aside,
I step into your role…
No longer content to wonder and praise…
I have decided,
"I KNOW BETTER WAYS",
To party on, to rage, to laugh…
THERE'LL BE NO
CONSEQUENCES ALONG MY PATH…
Then the fruit I begin to see…
Syphilis, Aids or
HIV,
Murders, Rapes, addictions too…
we're so
determined not to look to You…
Arrogance and pride, cruelty and greed…
We try to satisfy
OUR NEED, OUR NEED!
More perversion... longer, stronger highs…
We eagerly
swallow all Satan's lies…
Till one day, if time allows…
and we've finally
slain all our sacred cows.
When nothing matters, when there's nothing of worth…
We may finally
perceive a SECOND BIRTH…
As our first Adam gasps out his last…
the time of lust
and revelry past.
Blind eyes are opened by spit and mud…
A second Adam
offers up His blood…
A transfusion of purity, freedom, rebirth…
a NEW CREATION, a
HOME, a NEW EARTH.
Then the wonder of God I now also see…
Christ's own
blood has purchased me…
At last I kneel and yield control…
to the one who
has made me whole.
Our Creator of wonder I FINALLY SEE…
THE GOD WHO LOVED
AND DIED FOR ME…
