Made to Marvel


From before the worlds foundation, to include us in You story,
To work thru us, unfinished business was the plan
We form the fruit of righteousness and participate in glory
Till Christ returns to consummate the work that He began

Placed in the second Adam we become more than we can be
with his mighty angels in flaming fire, we now anticipate
The Lord Jesus revealed from heaven so that all can see
he will come back to be glorified by all His saints who wait

We were made to marvel as Gods mercies are applied
We were made to marvel at what we come to be
We were made to marvel so that he is glorified
Glorified in us for all the world to see

As we begin the neverending, perfect marvelling
The destiny of our joy will be attained
Nothing is more marvelous than our returning King
When the destiny of his glory will be gained

Your plan is that we fill up what what your work lacked
To go to every tribe and tongue with the good news
To proclaim that you are coming back
And there is much to gain and much to lose

Bridge
Lord help us obey, this is what we pray
Lord come quickly as for you we yearn.
Help us Lord to wait -as we anticipate
Help us to be prepared for your return

We were made to marvel as Gods mercies are applied
We were made to marvel at what we come to be
We were made to marvel so that he is glorified
Glorified in us for all the world to see

2 Thessalonians 1:7–10
