Lyrics of the Week – “That’s What Amazes Me”
I really should rename this feature, Lyrics of Whenever I Feel Like, since it has been a LONG time since I’ve posted any here. Oh well. Here’s some for you to think about though. There is a contemporary Christian group called Go Fish that my wife and I enjoy. One of my favorite songs from them is a little tune called “That’s What Amazes Me”. I think the title explains it pretty well. After having our 3 year-old niece visit us last weekend and reading about my pal Brian finally bring home his adopted son from Guatemala, this particular verse struck home for me:
Little fingers curled round mine
A perfect heart right in time
Brand new eyes look all around
As tiny ears hear every sound
And like the artist creates his masterpiece from nothing
So this child came to be
From the love of two
Came a whole new entitiy
And that’s what amazes me
It is amazing, isn’t it? It is so amazing it is hard to wrap your brain around it. Anyway — go download the song. I think you’ll like the other verses too. You can get it here.
