First Greatest Wonder

There's a Colorado mountain

That starts a mile high

Where snowy peaks outlast the summer sun

There's an Arizona canyon

Thats deeper than its wide

All because a river chose to run

Some call it a wonder

Others say its a mystery

But they don't know what mercy did for me

CHORUS:

It took a heart that was torn from within

Healed the scars

and made me feel like a child once again

It saw the hurt, felt the pain, knew the cost,

Took the blame just to say

The debt was paid and I was free

So it sure seems like to me

That mercy has to be

The first greatest wonder of the world

Now a wiser man could reason

How the stars are held in place

And why this world of ours keeps spinnin' round

Yet we find ourselves believing

In the things we can't explain

But isn't that what faith is all about

You see, I know from experience

That common sense says it can't be so

But I have seen how far His love will go

CHORUS

Let the nations build their monuments

Let the whole world stand back in amazement

But they cant see how mercy has changed me
