As a Christian music lover, I am always on the lookout for songs that will truly resonate with my soul. And I have to say, Long Hollow Worship's 'The Wonder' is definitely one of those songs.
The lyrics of 'The Wonder' speak of the amazing love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who was fully God and fully man. He left His throne in heaven to rescue us, and His victory over death means that we too can have victory over death.
The song begins with the lyrics 'Beyond what I can understand, Fully God and fully man.' These words immediately capture the awe and wonder of the incarnation, the fact that the infinite God took on finite human flesh to save us.
The chorus of 'The Wonder' repeats the phrase 'Oh, the wonder of it all' three times, emphasizing the sheer magnitude of what Christ did for us. The bridge continues this theme, proclaiming that 'It's the wonder of Your glory, Of how much You love us, It's the wonder of Your goodness and Your kindness.'
But the song doesn't just focus on the abstract wonder of God's love. It also acknowledges our own sinfulness and the fact that we are the ones in need of rescue. The lyrics of the second verse declare that 'If You would leave the ninety-nine, And I'm the one You came to find,' highlighting the fact that Christ's sacrifice was not just a general act of love, but a specific act of love for each and every one of us.
The final verse of the song celebrates the victory of Christ over sin and death, proclaiming that 'Hope was lost until day three, When You arose in victory, oh, You have shattered sin's decree, The death of death is life for me.' These words are a reminder that the resurrection of Christ is not just a nice story, but a historical reality that changes everything.
I encourage you to listen to 'The Wonder' by Long Hollow Worship and let its message of awe and wonder sink deep into your heart. Let it remind you of the incredible love of Jesus Christ, who left His throne in heaven to rescue you and me. I pray that this song will inspire you to live a life of wonder and gratitude, always remembering the incredible price that was paid for our redemption.
