I Wonder

I know what it is to wonder

To ponder where to turn in the night

With questions leaving tears that obscure my sight.

To wonder about what life is

To stand and wonder why

To turn to myself and to curse the sky.

It was in that darkness you made me see

Gave me a vision of eternity

That in, through, and to Christ are all things

So In Christ we find all the meaning life brings

I know what it is to wonder

To stand in awe in the light

With answers casting our my fears

And making the shadows bright.

To wonder at all life holds

To fall down in wonder and cry

To turn away once again from my self

To reckon that old man has died.

Out of the darkness you made me see

Gave me a vision of eternity

That in, through, and to Christ are all things

And In Christ we find all the meaning life brings
