The Wonder Of Your Love

This song slowly came together. Peter and I first created the chord structure and melody. Then Larry and I wrote some of the lyrics. Later Steve worked on it, greatly improving the music and lyrics. Steve and Peter created the recording, working together on separate continents. Steve sings the melody. It's so peaceful! :-) - Elton, April 11, 2008


Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Here is my heart
Here is my soul
You're all that I need
Everything I need to know
All that I am
And ever hope to be
I find in Your grace
As You breathe life in me

(Chorus)
The wonder of Your love
Cleansing my soul making me whole
It flows from Heaven above
Now I can see Your love makes me free

(Verse 2)
Here are my hopes
Here are my dreams
Surrendering all
As I lay them at Your feet
Fill me with joy
Comfort with Your peace
I'm captive no more
Since You won my release

(Repeat Chorus)
The wonder of Your love
Cleansing my soul making me whole
It flows from Heaven above
Now I can see Your love makes me free

(Bridge)
You rescued me from the darkest night
And brought me back from the dead
You led me into Your marvelous light
Now I long for what lies ahead

(Repeat Chorus)
The wonder of Your love
Cleansing my soul making me whole
It flows from Heaven above
Now I can see Your love makes me free

(Ending)
Now I can see Your love makes me free

This is a beautiful song and has a great impact upon me. And the graphic is sublime1 I woke up in the middle of the night dreaming about this sunset, and the return of Jesus. Keep up the good production of song's and verse.
