Wonderful
Bryan Duncan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
(Hey, mon)
Play it! Loud!
(Oh, wonderful, wonderful)
(Whoo, hoo, hoo!)
(Hey!)
(Wonderful, wonderful)
It's when I hang my head that I call on you, mm
'Cause I find you gracious and never hurried
I guess Isaiah said it best about you, it rings true
(Your name is wonderful)
Yes, I know, so I say
(I know your praise is due)
Where? From the congregation
(Your name is wonderful)
Well, I , I know it
(Almighty God it's You)
That's gonna see me through
When I close my eyes 'cause I just can't take no more
And I'm losing faith in the human race, yeah
When I look around, no one's there to save me
I know I've always got your guarantee
And I say
(Your name is wonderful)
Oh, I know it's true, yeah
(I know your praise is due)
Ha! From the congregation
(Your name is wonderful)
Mm, mm, I know it!
(Almighty God it's You)
That's gonna see me through
Alright, clap a little bit!
Whoa, ha!
Yeah, ah, ah, alright
Let's break it on down
Break it down right here!
(Your name is wonderful)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[scat singing]
(Your name is wonderful)
Alright, I'm feelin' a little stronger, yeah!
(Your name is wonderful)
Wah, ha! Ha ha!
(Your name is wonderful)
That's alright with me, man, I can sing that too, if you want to!
It's when I close my eyes 'cause I can't take no more
That you lift my hands and my point of view, yeah
Then you fill my soul, send my spirit right through the roof
I can't believe that everybody don't know you well
(Your name is wonderful)
Oh, yeah, I've
got to tell the world!
(I know your praise is due)
From every tribe and tongue and nation
(Your name is wonderful)
Oh, I know it's true, yeah
(Almighty God it's You)
That's gonna see me through
The song "Wonderful" by Bryan Duncan is a testament to the power of faith in God in times of trouble. The lyrics express the idea that when faced with difficult times, the singer turns to God for strength and guidance. The opening lines of the song exclaim, "Hey, mon! Play it loud!" which sets the tone for the enthusiastic and joyful experience of worshipping God. The later verses make use of imagery from the Bible, specifically referencing Isaiah's description of God's grace and mercy. The song ends with a call to share the good news of God's love and mercy with the whole world.
