Do you ever wonder, when you get up
what wonders will fill you with wonder today?
And isn't it wonderful how wonder always take us by surprise?!
Beneath...
or above
Wonder spills its treasure trove!
Wonder is delight’s amazement, worship’s outpouring, unflawed
Wonder is that perfect moment as we forget all but God
As we marvel at the beauty of an unexpected ‘gift’
That surprises Ordinary and gives commonplace a lift
Wonder is awe’s perfect pleasure, making the meek mortal glad
From a trove of priceless treasure spills a thrilling myriad
Cheering creature-care with comfort as God captures our gaze
Composing from thrumming heart-strings a hymn of rapturous praise
Wonder sweeps away gray shadows from the deeps beneath our skin
Granting, at least for the moment, happiness without chagrin
Stealing our breath with sudden, sweet glimpses of paradise
As we taste the crumbs that scatter from a Table in the skies

Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
Psalm 40:5
