Wonder of beauty and wonder of life!
Oh that this sparkle held no strife!
Some sing of spring and some of fall,
Others think but don’t care at all.
Hope of a future and the future of a dream;
If its result is none but to beset and scheme,
Where is the purpose that had driven it so?
Why isn’t your heart willing to let go?
Perhaps, God seems distantly here or there,
And you think that your pain is too hard to bear.
One moment you relish in the sun’s golden light;
You savor its warmth and protection from night.
But when your world becomes a fragile thing,
You cease then to trust and have no voice to sing.
The music that once flowed freely from your heart,
Has lost all its worth, its beauty and art.
Wonder of God and wonder of heaven!
Have we ever known a love so deeply given?
Here within our grasp a truth ever constant,
Are we such fools to ignore it one instant?
Our agony is of our own compromise.
Do we then wonder “Why this demise?”
Our shame is of our own wistful desire.
Can we ask of God “Why now this fire?”
Wonder of mercy and wonder of grace!
That from me He would not turn his face!
God ever worthy and through Him alone,
Can now my blindness His forgiveness atone!
Never before could I ever be free;
Until Jesus set His perfect eyes on me.
Now in me understanding is clear,
With God on my side what is there to fear?
