Transcript / Lyrics

A Great Wonder in Heaven © 2014
Written By Sean C. Harrison Jun. 17, 2014

How that we who know such love,
The sweetness of salvation's caress,
The gaze of a God enamoured,
Could turn to dumb idols...

We, who know the shelter of angel wings upon our way
Who learned His agony that day,
And of that Triune Tribunal minutely deliberating
Upon our very next breath with an unbroken rhythm
Breaking chains, pleading pardon for the undeserving
With mercy unswerving, enduring verbal smites and spittle,
The audacity of having the sacrifice belittled,
That they not needing to, groan with creation,
Positing the query:- “When will reason return to men?”

He who with a word levels nations...
That He could bear to see evil's nascency in an angel's heart,
Enduring a hate that spills and oozes blood to this day,

That a woman so frail, bearing a Seed of hope
Could cope in silence with the venom of violence
For His esteem, being the apple of His eye,
Who though fragile, emits such courage even on pain of death,
The dragon's febrile breath not spanning the power
To singe her virtue, take her life,
Holding in her womb the Soul and souls of His children.

It is a great wonder in Heaven,
A mystery most of all, that one captive midst all doubt
Should take His hand and be brought out,
Esteeming that grace so high
That he would now gaze awe smitten upon
That of He who inhabits heart and sky.
