don't let me lose my wonder

don't let me lose my wonder

by keith & kristyn getty

i've seen days melt into nights in circles of lights,

i've watched a spider spin a star between the window box flowers,

i've heard you laugh and cry in a single sigh

and a story form within.

don't let me lose my wonder,

don't let me lose my wonder.

i saw her broken dreams inside but helping others fly,

i saw his eyes without a doubt though other lights faded out,

and though her calling roared, such graciousness poured

from the vision of her soul.

don't let me lose my wonder,

don't let me lose my wonder.

a baby cried through the dark beneath a jeweled spark,

i knew Your voice upon the hill and heard my lostness still,

i found my home in the light where wrong was made right

and You rose as the morning star.

don't let me lose my wonder,

don't let me lose my wonder.

this song, mariah, has taught me about Wonder...but you show me much more.

stepping down the rainbow sidewalk

you dart away

to teach me that Delight is found in picking tulips.

we go swinging at kerry park

and i meet Happiness

in the breeze that teases your curly pigtails.

at the tweet of a robin,

at sunshine and puppies,

when holding tight to a friendly hand...

you smile at what Life is all about.

and you show me

that the meaning of life is not a dutiful acceptance of 'my lot',

but rather, about Trust.

i thank God you remind me

each day was not meant to be a struggle.

instead, Joy herself greets me at unexpected moments

and in unwonted places

when i look through the eyes of one very special little girl.
