Meaning & Inspiration
Wonderfully Made is a children's worship song that celebrates being created by God. The first verse says that God formed the singer in the mother's womb and colored the hair on the head, with a refrain asking to be reminded again if the truth is ever forgotten. The second verse says that He heard the first cry and heard a dream come true, and the chorus declares that the singer is fearfully and wonderfully made, that He does all things well and does not make mistakes.
The third verse says that He spoke the singer's name, wrote all the days in His book and said that what He made was very good, and the chorus returns with praise. A playful section of shouts of "Yahoo" gives young singers a chance to celebrate before the final repeats. The themes follow Psalm 139:13-14 on being knit together in the womb, Genesis 1:31 on God seeing that it was very good, and Psalm 139:16 on days written in His book. The simple, repeated hook gives it a cheerful, affirming tone.
