Juanita Bynum - Jesus, What a Wonder Lyrics

Jesus, What a Wonder is a short, repetitive song of adoration that names Jesus in wonder. The first verse repeats the name Jesus and the line "What a wonder You are," and later verses add titles, the Rose of Sharon and the Lion of the tribe of Judah, each followed by the same refrain.

The titles come from Song of Solomon 2:1 and Revelation 5:5, and the sense of wonder fits Isaiah 9:6, where the promised child is called Wonderful Counselor. The vamp holds on to the word "are" and the ending repeats the refrain, which makes the song suited to extended adoration. The structure of three paired verses, each with three refrains, gives the song a steady, meditative shape and keeps all attention on the person of Christ rather than on a story.
