Sometimes I Wonder

 

 

Sometimes I wonder just what it was like

In the beginning when God first made light

 

When He thought up the plants and the flowers and trees

And the rivers and streams and the hippos and bees

 

Sometimes I wonder how it was back then

In the Garden of Eden before there was sin

 

 

When for Adam and Eve every sky was bright blue

And communion with God was all that they knew

 

 

Sometimes I wonder of post Garden days

And of how prone we are to depart from God’s ways

 

 

And I wonder why we can be so much like sheep

So prone to wander and rules not keep

 

 

Sometimes I wonder of all of life’s pain

And all of the heartache that’s hard to explain

 

 

Life’s hardest questions have answers unspoken

That’s how it is... in a world that is broken

 

 

But more so I ponder God’s love and His grace

And His heart for the children He longs to embrace

 

 

His plan to pursue fallen man lovingly

And His promise “I’ll make you a way back to Me”

 

 

I ponder with wonder the depth of a love

That would leave all the glory of Heaven above

 

 

To walk among men in a world cold and rough

That we’d know God is real and His love enough

 

 

I ponder the plan of God most High

How the wrath of sin He satisfied

 

 

When He gave His Son as a sacrifice

Because only His blood was sufficient a price

 

 

I ponder the Savior of Calvary

Who would have died for only me

 

 

I cling to His love which will not let me go

And I pray for the many who His love don’t know

 

 

I praise Him that even this moment He speaks

And reveals HImself to the soul that seeks

 

 

And I lay down my life and I give Him control

For I know all my brokenness He can make whole

 

 

I pray on this Easter you’d seek Him as well

And you wouldn’t give up until you too can tell

 

 

Of the beauty that’s coming and already is...

Living inside you because Jesus lives!
