Greg Long First Greatest Wonder Lyrics

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
