Vale Montes - Wonder To My Soul Lyrics
Lyrics
You are a wonder to my soul, Jesus
You are a wonder to my soul, Jesus
You are a wonder working God Jesus
You are a wonder to my soul, Jesus
You are good I can testify
You've done miracles before my very eyes
You never change faithful are You
God from ages past
You are the God of my days
You are good I can testify
You've done miracles before my very eyes
You never change faithful are You
God from ages past
You are the God of my days
You are a wonder to my soul, Jesus
You are a wonder to my soul, Jesus
You are a wonder working God Jesus
You are a wonder to my soul, Jesus
When men thought it was over
You said You've just started
You never sleep nor slumber
You are constantly watching over me
See how you set me free (How you set me free)
See how you changed my life (You changed my life)
When death showed its face
See how You rescued me
You are a wonder to my soul, Jesus
You are a wonder to my soul, Jesus
You are a wonder working God Jesus
You are a wonder to my soul, Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
Vale Montes' powerful anthem, "Wonder To My Soul," first graced our ears on September 21, 2012, delivering a profound declaration of faith and devotion. This song is a deeply personal testimony, an outpouring of gratitude and awe directed squarely at Jesus Christ. At its core, "Wonder To My Soul" articulates the overwhelming impact of God's presence and power in a believer's life, moving from abstract adoration to concrete instances of divine intervention. It's a prayer, a praise, and a powerful personal narrative woven into a compelling confession of Christ's sovereignty and unwavering character.
The central theme, reverberating throughout the song, is the recognition of Jesus as a "wonder to my soul" and a "wonder working God." This isn't mere sentiment; it’s an experience of the divine that transcends human understanding, evoking the profound mystery and majesty of God. Just as Psalm 139:14 declares, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well," Montes extends this wonder to the very essence of God's being and His interaction with humanity. The phrase "wonder working God" directly echoes biblical accounts of God's miraculous deeds, from the parting of the Red Sea to the healing of the sick, reminding us that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is still actively at work today. Jeremiah 32:27 asks, "Is anything too hard for me?"—a question the song answers with a resounding "no," celebrating a God for whom nothing is impossible.
Montes grounds this praise in tangible experience, proclaiming, "You are good I can testify, You've done miracles before my very eyes." This personal testimony resonates deeply with the spirit of Psalm 107:2, "Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story," urging believers to share God's goodness. It speaks to a faith forged not just in doctrine, but in lived encounters with divine grace and power, validating the timeless truth of Psalm 34:8: "Taste and see that the Lord is good." This goodness is further underscored by God's unchanging nature: "You never change faithful are You, God from ages past, You are the God of my days." This timeless truth, found in Malachi 3:6 ("I the Lord do not change") and Hebrews 13:8 ("Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever"), offers immense comfort and stability. It assures us that the faithfulness experienced in the past extends unfailingly into the present and future, affirming God's steadfastness through every season of life.
The song then moves into a potent declaration of God's intervention in moments of despair, powerfully stating, "When men thought it was over, You said You've just started." This line captures the essence of divine turnaround, a familiar theme in Scripture where God brings hope out of hopelessness, life out of death. It evokes images of God breathing new life into dry bones (Ezekiel 37) or raising Lazarus from the grave, reminding us that God's plans are often initiated precisely when human efforts fail. This unwavering vigilance is encapsulated in the beautiful assurance, "You never sleep nor slumber, You are constantly watching over me," directly referencing Psalm 121:3-4. It's a testament to God's continuous, loving oversight, assuring the believer of constant protection and care, far exceeding any earthly guardian.
The song concludes with a series of grateful affirmations of God's deliverance: "See how you set me free, See how you changed my life, When death showed its face, See how You rescued me." These lines are not abstract theological concepts but heartfelt expressions of personal liberation and transformation. The freedom referenced calls to mind Jesus' declaration in John 8:36, "If the Son sets you free, you are truly free," speaking to spiritual emancipation from sin and bondage. The changed life testifies to the profound renewal promised in 2 Corinthians 5:17, where "the old has gone, the new is here!" The ultimate rescue from death's grip points to the salvific power of Christ, conquering death itself, as celebrated in Romans 6:23, where "the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." "Wonder To My Soul" is thus a stirring invitation to reflect on the miraculous hand of God in our own lives, a call to worship the "wonder working God" who actively watches over us, transforms us, and rescues us, demonstrating His unchanging goodness and faithfulness at every turn.
