Wonderful Maker
Chris Tomlin's song celebrates God as Creator and Savior, reflecting on the light brought into darkness through creation and Christ. The lyrics contrast God's majestic power with His humble love, emphasizing the goodness of God in making the world and sending His Son. The song points to the cross as a beautiful yet mysterious expression of God's greatness, inviting listeners to worship the Maker and Redeemer. It echoes themes from Genesis and the gospel, focusing on God's character rather than human experience.
You spread out the skies over empty space
Said "let there be light"
Into a dark and formless world Your light
was born
You spread out Your arms over empty hearts
Said "let there be light"
Into a dark and hopeless world Your Son
was born
You made the world and saw that it was good
You sent Your only son for You are good
What a wonderful Maker
What a wonderful Savior
How majestic Your whispers
And how humble Your love
With a strength like no other
And the heart of a Father
How majestic Your whispers
What a wonderful God
No eye has fully seen, how beautiful the cross
And we have only heard
The faintest whispers of how great You are
