Lyrics

Verse 1


Miracles, miracles
I have seen what You can do
Of broken things like me


Powerful, powerful
You have been
Greater, stronger than my sin
Sick soul, I know


Chorus (Repeat)


He's a wonder, He's a wonder
He is, He is a wonder
He's a wonder, He's a wonder
He is a wonder in my soul


Verse 2


Beautiful, beautiful
Nothing less, one view of You
Takes my breath away
I'm so amazed


Chorus (Repeat x4)


Bridge (Repeat x4)


You leave me speechless
You leave me speechless
Only You, Jesus
You're a wonder in my soul


Outro


I'm still amazed, You're a wonder
You're a wonder in my soul
I'm still in love with Jesus
He's a wonder in my soul
I'm still in awe of Him
I'm still amazed

Meaning & Inspiration

"How Great Medley / He's a Wonder" opens by naming miracles witnessed firsthand, describing personal brokenness met by power described as greater than sin itself. That direct, personal testimony frames the chorus's central title, calling Jesus a wonder rather than offering an extended list of specific attributes.

Its second verse shifts toward simple description, beauty that takes the breath away and leaves the singer amazed, language echoing a familiar description of God's name as wonderful. The bridge intensifies that response further, repeating the admission of being left speechless, treating silence itself as an appropriate response to what words cannot fully capture.

Rooted in contemporary gospel worship's medley tradition, the song functions as an extended expression of amazement, its repeated title phrase and closing declarations of ongoing love and awe presenting wonder not as a passing reaction but as a settled, continuing state.
