Don't It Make You Wonder?

Verse 1  [Psalm 8:3-4]
God says “Light!” and the heavens burn;
Stars ignite and the planets turn.
See God’s mastery,
Don’t it make you wonder?

Lift your eyes to the skies and see,
Space displays God’s artistry.
See His majesty,
Don’t it make you wonder

Why a God like that would choose to care,
Why He would think to love me?

Chorus
It’s outrageous love, it’s amazing grace,
Given undeserved and free. [Eph 2:8-9]
Yeah, it’s all God’s riches at Christ’s expense, [Eph 1:7]
Don’t it make you wonder
God would do so much for me?

Verse 2
God so loved us He chose to come,
Shed His splendour, and left His throne. [Phil 2:6-7]
God Emmanuel, [Isa 7:14; Matt 1:22-23]
Don’t it make you wonder?

God, through ages from us concealed,
Now in Jesus at last revealed; [Col 1:15]
God has come to us,
Don’t it make you wonder

Why a God so high would stoop so low? [John 1:14]
I cannot tell, but this I know:

Chorus
It’s outrageous love, it’s amazing grace,
Given undeserved and free.
Yeah, it’s all God’s riches at Christ’s expense,
Don’t it make you wonder
God would come so far for me?

Verse 3
Wider mercy there cannot be;
Deeper love than for you and me;
Jesus died for us. [John 15:13]
Don’t it make you wonder?

Jesus died, so our debt is paid; [Col 2:13-14]
Rose again, living proof is laid! [1 Cor 15:3-8]
God has ransomed us,
Don’t it make you wonder

Why a God so great would choose to give
His only Son that I might live? [John 3:16]

Chorus
It’s outrageous love, it’s amazing grace,
Given undeserved and free.
Yeah, it’s all God’s riches at Christ’s expense,
Don’t it make you wonder?
Don’t it make you think?

It’s outrageous love, it’s amazing grace,
Given undeserved and free.
We’ve got all God’s riches at Christ’s expense,
Don’t it make you wonder
God would do it all for me?

The Story

“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” (Psalm 8:3-4)

Compared to the wonder and vastness of His creation, that God should think of us, come for us, and die for us is – by our standards – literally outrageous!

It just goes to show how amazing is His grace. He has given us all God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense!
