The Wonder
(Written by, Candice Landis/5/30/2014}
I Used To Wonder How Christ Could Possibly Love Me
I Was So Full Of Pain That Made Me Dark And Ugly
I Didn't Know He Gave His Life For Me
I Didn't Know The Meaning Of The Word Unconditionally
I Just Knew That There Was A God And I Would Never Be Good Enough For Him
I'd Already Gone Too Far, Buried Myself In Sin After Sin, Busily Playing The Victim
I Knew He'd Already Written Me Off
It Was Too Late, I Was A Lost Cause
I Had Seen Other People That Were Happy, That Were Loved
I Was Jealous Of Them , Angry That My Circumstance I Would Never Rise Above
Happiness To Me Was A Very Temporary State
A Fleeting State Of Mind Crushed By The Knowledge Of My Dark Fate
I Half Heartedly Asked Jesus To Help Me A Few Times
I Didn't Think He Was Listening Because I Kept Collecting Strife
He Knew I Wasn't Ready And Asked Me To Be Patient I Now Realize
On The Day He Deemed Me Truly Sincere He Swept Joyfully Into My Life
Years Of Misery Not Knowing Him, I Somehow Survived
He Knew I I Needed To Stumble Before I Could Stride
I Needed To Be In Darkness So I Could Appreciate The Light
Our Savior Knew This And Patiently Waited Until The Time Was Right
Then He Reached Into My Heart And Answered My Cry
He Sealed My Wounds And Of His Love Gave Me An Abundant Supply
He Gave Me Peace And Contentment Deep Inside
His Love For Me Took The Angry Shadows From My Life
I No Longer Have To Worry About Just Getting By
My Faith Tells Me He Will Never Leave My Side
He Is My Heavenly Father And He Will Provide
Through Every Trial I Know He Holds Greater Things For Me On The Other Side
For Once In My Life When Things Go Wrong I Can Say
Don't Worry, It's Gonna Be Okay
Jesus Is Leading The Way
Be Still And Have Faith
