God of Wonders!

Lord of heaven and earth.
Lord of all creation.
Lord of heaven and earth.

Lord of all creation.
Of water earth and sky.
The heavens are your tabernacle.

Glory to the Lord on high.

God of wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy, holy.
The Universe declares your majesty, You are holy, holy.
Lord of heaven and earth.
Lord of heaven and earth.

Early in the morning
I will celebrate The Light
when I stumble in the darkness
I will call Your Name by night

God of wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy, holy.
The Universe declares your majesty, You are holy, holy.
Lord of heaven and earth!
Lord of heaven and earth!

Hallelujah, to the Lord of heaven and earth!
Hallelujah, to the Lord of heaven and earth!

Hallelujah, to the Lord of heaven and earth!

God of wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy, holy.
Precious Lord reveal Your heart to me, You are holy, holy.
The universe declares Your majesty, You are holy, holy.

Hallelujah, to the Lord of heaven and earth!

Hallelujah, to the Lord of heaven and earth!
Hallelujah, to the Lord of heaven and earth!

Song: God of Wonders
Artist: Mac Powell with Cliff & Danyell Young
Album: City On A Hill

Perhaps you are now singing the song softly to yourself...maybe you hear the tune in your mind. Maybe you've never heard the song (if not, I'd recommend you buy the City on a Hill CD). To me and probably many readers who stumble across this entry, this song is considered an "oldie." The version of the song sung by Mac Powell of Third Day along with Cliff and Danyell Young of Caedmon's Call was released in 2000, so it is a few years old. It has been released by other artists since. I believe it has become one of those timeless classics that we will hear for years and years and years.

A few nights ago, the song came on K-Love as I was pulling into Wal Mart on an errand. For some reason, I just sat in the parking lot and listened and sang to myself. It was almost as if the Lord said...be still for a minute. There are too many distractions in your life. Focus on Me.

I found myself calming down and focusing on Him. Later in Wal Mart, still hearing the song in my mind, I realized I didn't own the song on CD, but would really like to hear it again. For grins and giggles, I checked the music section in Wal Mart. City on Hill wasn't there, but I did find the song on one of the WOW compilations and bought it. I enjoyed it all day on Saturday.

Sunday morning at church, as we were singing to start the service, yes, you guessed it, the second song we sang was God of Wonders. I've never heard it at our church before...but it was sung this past Sunday.

So...coincidence? Hmmm. Perhaps not. Sometimes I think God is having fun in causing unusual occurences just to make us think....and focus on Him...and praise Him.
