In Wonder
Newsboys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So much wonder carved in Your coral seas
So much wonder shaded by ancient trees
I consider all Your hands have made
Every newborn?s eyes, every new sunrise

No power can tame Your presence
No light can match Your radiance
Let all creation sing in wonder
Every sea, every creature, every star
You opened up my eyes to wonder
What a vision, what a wonder You are

Such a wonder, ordering time and tide
Such a wonder, bridging the great divide
I consider all that You had, all You gave
And all that You endured from this rebel world

What a wondrous cross You chose to bear
What a wonder You would even care

Let all creation sing in wonder
Every sea, every creature, every star
You opened up my eyes to wonder
What a vision, what a wonder You are

Let every rock cry out
Let every knee bow down
You opened up my heart to wonder
What a love, what a wonder You are

No power can tame Your presence
No light can match Your radiance
Such a wonder
Such a wonder

Let all creation sing in wonder
Every sea, every creature, every star
You opened up my eyes to wonder
What a vision, what a wonder You are

Let all creation sing in wonder
Every sea, every creature, every star
You opened up my eyes to wonder
What a vision, what a wonder You are

Let every rock cry out
Oh, let every knee bow down




You opened up my heart to wonder
What a love, what a wonder You are
