Lyrics by Jaron Willems
Wonder
[verse 1]
I just want to walk between the trees
To feel a gentle breeze
To sit among the works of your hand
To feel your gentle touch
I’ll never have too much
And I’ve begun to understand
[chorus 1]
And now I see
That you created me
To wonder
To wonder
Now I see
That you created me
To wonder
To wonder
[verse 2]
I just want to listen to a stream
The beauty of a sunbeam
What is man that you should care for him
To gaze into the night
Lie beneath the starlight
I’ll lift my voice to only you I’ll sing
[chorus 2]
And now I see
That you created me
To wonder
To wonder
The blessings of your grace
To turn and seek your face
To wonder
To wonder
[ending]
And now I see
That you created me
To wonder
To wonder
To wonder
I just want to walk between the trees
To feel a gentle breeze
To sit among the works of your hand
To feel your gentle touch
I’ll never have too much
And I’ve begun to understand
[chorus 1]
And now I see
That you created me
To wonder
To wonder
Now I see
That you created me
To wonder
To wonder
[verse 2]
I just want to listen to a stream
The beauty of a sunbeam
What is man that you should care for him
To gaze into the night
Lie beneath the starlight
I’ll lift my voice to only you I’ll sing
[chorus 2]
And now I see
That you created me
To wonder
To wonder
The blessings of your grace
To turn and seek your face
To wonder
To wonder
[ending]
And now I see
That you created me
To wonder
To wonder
To wonder
Extra Ordinary
Verse 1:
Oftentimes, I find myself asking why
Why should God above be concerned for me
Is He that involved in my nine to five
Or with me when I’m walking down the street
The answer always keeps on coming through
God is there in every situation
Don’t ask is my life worth coming into
Ask whether He has been invited in
Chorus 1:
If you measure your life by ups or downs
Or all your days are just hanging around
Whether you’re worries are few or many
He’s God of the extra ordinary
Verse 2:
You think He doesn’t hear your morning sigh
Groaning as you hit your alarm again
Why would God care about my boring life
And why trouble Him with my daily pain
The same God with the whole world in His hands
Feeds the sparrows and makes the flowers grow
He wants to hear about your fears and plans
The closest friend that you will ever know
Chorus 1:
If you measure your life by ups or downs
Or all your days are just hanging around
Whether you’re worries are few or many
He’s God of the extra ordinary
Bridge:
Whether scrubbing plates
Or lying awake
God is never more than a prayer away
He’ll listen and talk
When you’re on a walk
Waiting for you to only ask or knock
Chorus 2:
If you measure your life by ups or downs
Or all your days are just hanging around
Whether you’re worries are few or many
He’s God of the extra ordinary
He’s not content with Sunday morning best
He wants to be there throughout all the rest
Whether you’re worries are few or many
He’s God of the extra ordinary
Tag:

Is Not Me, It’s You
[verse 1]
Why do I act like I am all alone
Struggling with sin, I never will win
If I try to do it on my own
Living like I am at the end of my rope
Always the same, Run from the pain
But not into the arms of Hope
[chorus]
You did the work, You paid the cost
You took my sin when You died on that cross
And I know that, Lord I know that
You bring the hope, You break the chains
You stood and walked right outta that grave
God I know that, It’s not me, it’s you
[verse 2]
Help me go on when I need you most
Lord hear my prayer, Let me know you’re there
Even when you don’t feel close
Tired of living like I’m the only one
Built for much more, Let’s even the score
With the Father, Holy Spirit, and Son
[chorus]
You did the work, You paid the cost
You took my sin when You died on that cross
And I know that, Lord I know that
You bring the hope, You break the chains
You stood and walked right outta that grave
God I know that, It’s not me, it’s you
[bridge]
It’s not me it’s you
You’re the gospel truth
In all you said and do
You’ll always help me through
And when I’ve lost my way
You know just what to say
To remind me of my Faith
The truth, the life, the way
[chorus]
You did the work, You paid the cost
You took my sin when You died on that cross
And I know that, Lord I know that
You bring the hope, You break the chains
You stood and walked right outta that grave
God I know that, It’s not me, it’s you
Why do I act like I am all alone
Struggling with sin, I never will win
If I try to do it on my own
Living like I am at the end of my rope
Always the same, Run from the pain
But not into the arms of Hope
[chorus]
You did the work, You paid the cost
You took my sin when You died on that cross
And I know that, Lord I know that
You bring the hope, You break the chains
You stood and walked right outta that grave
God I know that, It’s not me, it’s you
[verse 2]
Help me go on when I need you most
Lord hear my prayer, Let me know you’re there
Even when you don’t feel close
Tired of living like I’m the only one
Built for much more, Let’s even the score

God I know that, It’s not me, it’s you
Like the Sparrow
I descend to my knees
And repeat reverently
Lord, please be all I need
For tomorrow
Giver of second birth
You’re the source of true worth
What belongs to this earth
Is so hollow
You say “Child, you are mine
Your short life’s precious time
You cannot make it thine
Only borrow”
Never outside of your care
Lord, you are always there
Give me your strength to bear
And to follow
Help me break from these chains
That I make every day
So I’ll bring You no pain
And no sorrow
When I can’t carry on
I will still sing this song
Waiting for every dawn
Like the sparrow
And repeat reverently
Lord, please be all I need
For tomorrow
Giver of second birth
You’re the source of true worth
What belongs to this earth
Is so hollow
You say “Child, you are mine
Your short life’s precious time
You cannot make it thine
Only borrow”
Never outside of your care
Lord, you are always there
Give me your strength to bear
And to follow
Help me break from these chains
That I make every day
So I’ll bring You no pain
And no sorrow
When I can’t carry on
I will still sing this song
Waiting for every dawn
Like the sparrow
