This song was written on one of those days when I stopped to wonder how God manages to do what only God can do. Keep this astounding world running while somehow finding a way to be there for each of us. Stop today and think about that for a bit,
May you feel and recognize God’s hand moving in your life, today and always!
John
‘Simply Amazing’
I’ve had the honor of seeing many wondrous things
In this world in which God has placed us
It’s simply amazing and when I stop and think
Of how it all fits together perfect in so many ways
Precise beyond my ‘magination
Its complexity fills me with awe
God put this plan into motion
For reasons that we’ll never know
But the thing that astounds me far more than this
Is that He loves us so much and really wants us to know
We are cherished by the One who created all that we see
While God’s running this world
Making each atom whirl
God still finds time to listen to me
Pause for a moment and ponder
It’s hard to get your mind around that
In my heart I believe, in my soul I am sure
Though amazing, this is simply a fact
God saved me from my deepest trouble
Brought me back from the depths of despair
Through the good and the bad, every moment I’ve had
God has always been there
The beauty of each of God’s wonders
That I’ve had the privilege to see
Grand Canyon, the ocean, the dark starry sky
An eagle on wing, my son’s first noisy cry
A lake way up north when there’s no one else there
Quiet nights spent with my wife, beyond compare
But the thing that astounds me far more than this
Is that He loves us so much and really wants us to know
We are cherished by the One who created all that we see
While God’s running this world
Making each atom whirl
God still finds time to listen to me
Pause for a moment and ponder
It’s hard to get your mind around that
In my heart I believe, in my soul I am sure
Though amazing, this is simply a fact
God saved me from my deepest trouble
Brought me back from the depths of despair
Through the good and the bad, every moment I’ve had
God has always been there
The beauty of each of God’s wonders
That I’ve had the privilege to see
A coral reef’s creatures in motion
A whale’s tail as he starts to dive
A volcano smoking and rumbling
A bustling busy bee hive
Mountains covered in snow,
Sky all aglow as I watch an awesome sunset
A moose and her calf, a deep hearty laugh, every person I’ve ever met
But the thing that astounds me far more than this
Is that He loves us so much and really wants us to know
We are cherished by the One who created all that we see
While God’s running this world
Making each atom whirl
God still finds time to listen to me
Pause for a moment and ponder
It’s hard to get your mind around that
In my heart I believe, in my soul I am sure
Though amazing, this is simply a fact
God saved me from my deepest trouble
Brought me back from the depths of despair
Through the good and the bad, every moment I’ve had
God has always been there
