Return to Wonder

There's a sacred silence in my heart that I cannot explain

It lifts me above the din of life where peace and silence reign

It takes me to my inner courts to the throneroom of the king

The son of God who rules and reigns- the creator of all things

I will return to wonder-and I will look to see

When the silence is broken and he speaks peace to me

I will return to wonder-and I will look to see

When the silence is broken and he speaks peace to me

We make a casualty of contemplation

We have no time for meditation

We lose touch with simple delights

The source of wonder and perception

Of understanding and quiet reflection

Is the one infinite Father of Lights

He is my vision of unseen sights!

I will return to wonder-and I will look to see

When the silence is broken and he speaks peace to me

I will return to wonder-and I will look to see

When the silence is broken and he speaks peace to me
