Lyrics
How Wonderful You Are
Written by Bo Parker
Composed by Andre Jennings (Eristopher)
Verse 1: (00:19)
Hopelessly/ we wander ?round/like sheep? who?ve gone astray
Searching for the truth
In a world so destitute
You wait with open arms
And out-stretched hands
So man/ can find/ his place with you?
Chorus 1 (00:49)
Who can take/a broken heart/ and mend it back to new (A)
Who can dry/ a weeping eye/ and turn the gray skies blue (S)
Who can separate us from/ the love we?ve found in you (A)
You?re the center of my heart (T) / (center of my heart) (A&S)
How wonderful you are (ALL)
Verse 2: (01:29)
What is man/that thou O? God are/mind-ful of him
How amazing is your love
That you would bless us with so much
Angels surround your thrown
Day and night
And yet/you?re blessed/ with praise from us
Pre Chorus: (02:00)
The sins of man/ you purchased with your/ blood on Calvary
Before the world/ was framed you had a/ plan designed for me
You hung/ upon a cross of shame for/ all of man to see
You left the Father?s side/ (overlap) for those would despise
How wonderful you are
Instrumental (02:31)
--You?re the center of my heart (T) / (center of my heart (A&S)
How wonderful You are (ALL)
Bridge: (03:10)
You would have showed
If only for one soul
All the glory that you hold
Only heaven knows
And you offer this
To those who will confess
That you are Lord of all.
Yes you are Lord of all
Chorus: (3:40)
Who can take/a broken heart/ and mend it back to new (A)
Who can dry/ a weeping eye/ and turn the gray skies blue (S)
Who can separate us from/ the love we?ve found in you (A)
You?re the center of my heart (T) / (center of my heart) (A&S)
How wonderful you are (ALL)
You created man from earth/ and blew into him life (A)
You created/ angels who/ hold the winds of strife (S)
You sent the son/ to bear the sins/ it was you who died (A)
It was you who bore the scars (T)/ (you who bore the scars) (A&S)
How wonderful you are (ALL)
