May I never lose the wonder,
The wonder of the cross.
May I see it like the first time
Standing as a sinner lost,
Undone by mercy and left speechless,
Watching wide eyed at the cost.
May I never lose the wonder,
The wonder of the cross.

  • Do we go to church expecting to meet and hear from God?
  • Do we have an excitement about going to church or has it just become routine?
  • Do we expect to come out changed?

Do you ever wonder how these songs come into being? I have zero music ability so would not even know how to begin to write a song! In this clip below Stuart tells us about the story behind how this song came about. Have a listen to it.
