From Wonder's Treasure Trove...

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
