in wonder.

i have not blogged lately. i guess i just don't feel like i've had "blogworthy" updates or excitement to write about. i still don't, but i'm going to share another song that i really like lately. i don't necessarily listen to a lot of "christian music", but lately artists such as david crowder, chris tomlin, and now a little newsboys have been blaring from the speakers in my travels. there is one newsboys song in particular getting my attention, called 'in wonder':


So much wonder
Carved in your coral seas
So much wonder
Shaded by ancient trees
I consider all that 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 EVERY ROCK CRY OUT
LET EVERY KNEE BOW DOWN
YOU OPENED UP MY HEART TO WONDER
WHAT 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 EVERY ROCK CRY OUT
LET EVERY KNEE BOW DOWN
YOU OPENED UP MY HEART TO WONDER
WHAT LOVE, WHAT A WONDER YOU ARE


this time of year in particular draws me to the wonder of God. i intentionally take the time to notice creation all around me - it helps that i have a lot of time on the road to look around and enjoy the opening blossoms, fresh green leaves, freshly mulched plant beds. such a wonder...
