He wore the crown of heaven,
But a cross He chose because
He loves me, and that’s the wonder of it all!

Lost with no hope, our sin remained
Till Christ on Calvary was slain

Oh, for the wonder, the wonder of it all
Lord I praise Your name!
Oh, for the wonder, the wonder of it all

Pray all the world will see
May all I do glorify Your name

Nothing He can’t do at all
There’s nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing He can’t do

Nothing He can’t do at all
There’s nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing He can’t do
