The Wonder

Tell That Story EP

Nov 8

Lyrics

Little fingers they run
Through my hair
A tiny head on my shoulder

When you reach for my hand
Just to know I'm there
The things I'll miss when you're older

But in the rush of the day
How I turn away
How I forget the wonder
I forget the grace
And the giving of thanks
For the weight of the love that I'm under
Oh, the wonder

When my temper is short
And the day is long
And my words come out in anger
And I tell you I'm sorry
But the moment's gone
I'm so heavy with my failure
But let me tell you darlin'
Where your mama she is running
To the cross, oh what a wonder
All my love, just a shadow
Pointing on to the hallowed
To what's deeper, wider, longer

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
The wonder

When my hair is gray, and my words get slow
And my days are almost over
And I whisper to you, "how I love you so"
I hope you never had to wonder
And you know, my child
You've never been only mine
Though I wish I, could hold you longer
Though I leave you, He is near
He will wipe away your tears
You're so loved by God the Father

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
The wonder
