"Wonder" is the story of Mary, the mother of God, carrying the burden of being pregnant at such a young age and newly married. But the birth of the baby Jesus lifts her burden, and replaces it with love and the future King of the world.

Lyrics by Yvette Walker and Rick Amburgey
Music and vocal by Alyssa Newton

The star hangs high, the angels sigh
There’s a girl who carries a burden
Her little family is growing - she’s showing 
So scared, of that she is certain

Then He arrives and looks in her eyes
She’s awed by his tiny smile
Her burden no longer, she’s stronger
In the blessing of the newborn child

Chorus
Lift your face, look up in wonder
Mary, all your doubt is melting away
Lift your face, do you wonder
Lord I wonder, 
Why you’d give your son for  me

Just a child herself, no pressure
Mary, did you think you’d be the one?
You bowed low, love overflows
Born and favored to have the Son

Mary, bring your mighty King, 
Our future in a baby’s eyes
Joy is ringing, angels singing
Peace on earth fills the skies

Repeat Chorus

Wonder

I’m Glad I Didn’t Know
Rick Amburgey

Verse 1:
Whether we were on the football team,
The homecoming queen or a band kid
We spent our young lives together
Learning we were more alike than different
We celebrated graduation that May
Promised each other to stay in touch
Believing we’d be friends forever
Cause anything else hurt too much

Chorus:
I’m glad I didn’t know
The last time was the last time
And I’m glad I didn’t know
We were really saying goodbye
I could have been crying
Instead of laughing
I might have missed out
On one of the best times of my life
So I’m glad I didn’t know


Verse 2:
A few years later, I fell in love
I thought I had found my forever
Even though losing her broke my heart
I still treasure our year together
I remember our last date well
We were slow dancing at a concert
And I didn’t have any idea
That we weren’t going to work

Chorus:
I’m glad I didn’t know
The last time was the last time
And I’m glad I didn’t know
We were really saying goodbye
I could have been crying
Instead of laughing
I might have missed out
On one of the best times of my life
So I’m glad I didn’t know

Bridge:
Sometimes I wish I knew the future
But God knows what He’s doing
There’s been a lot of situations
When I’ve been able to say

Chorus:
I’m glad I didn’t know
The last time was the last time
And I’m glad I didn’t know
We were really saying goodbye
I could have been crying
Instead of laughing
I might have missed out
On one of the best times of my life
So I’m glad I didn’t know

Wonder
