Lyrics
He promised us that He would be a counselor
A mighty God and a Prince of peace
He promised us that He would be a Father
And would love us with a love that would not cease
Well, I tried Him and I found His promises are true
He's everything He said that He would be
The finest words I know could not begin to tell
Just how much Jesus really means to me
Chorus:
For He's more wonderful than my mind can conceive
He's more wonderful than my heart can believe
He goes beyond my highest hopes and fondest dreams
He's everything that my soul ever longed for
Everything He's promised and so much more
More than amazing
More than marvelous
More than miraculous could ever be
He's more than wonderful
That's what Jesus is to me
I stand amazed to think the King of glory
Would come to live within g the heart of man
I marvel just to know He really loves me
When I think of who He is and who I am
Chorus:
He's everything that my soul ever longed for
Everything He's promised and so much more
More than amazing
More than marvelous
More than miraculous could ever be
He's more than wonderful
That's what Jesus is to me
He's more than wonderful to me

Meaning & Inspiration
More Than Wonderful describes Jesus as the fulfillment of divine promise: Counselor, mighty God, Prince of Peace, and loving Father. The lyric moves from those titles to personal testimony, declaring that his faithfulness exceeds what mind, heart, and imagination can hold. Its sense of wonder rests not only on miracles but on Jesus' love and nearness.
The opening titles clearly echo Isaiah's prophecy of the promised Son. The chorus also aligns with the biblical description of God doing far more than can be asked or imagined. The image of the King of glory dwelling within a human heart suggests the Christian hope of Christ's indwelling presence. Together, these ideas make the song a statement of awe, gratitude, and confidence in Jesus' unfailing character.
