'God Of Wonders' Mac Powell Live Performance

Check out this great video of Mac Powell giving a live performance of the song ‘God Of Wonders’ at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO.

“Lord of all creation, Lord of water, earth and sky, the heavens are your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high, God of wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty, You are holy, holy, Lord of heaven and earth”

This beautiful song talks about God’s wonder and majesty and Him being the Lord of all creation. The lyrics celebrate the light and remind us to call on His name in the darkness. It is powerful, and it is clear to see why this popular worship song has been sung in churches all over the world for years.

‘God Of Wonders’ was written by Steve Hindalong and Marc Byrd, who are members of the Christian Rock group The Choir. The song was created for a worship project called City on a Hill, and it first appeared on the 2000 album City on a Hill: Songs of Worship and Praise performed by Mac Powell.

When talking about how the song came together, Steve Hindalong remembers it vividly. “I had a black Guild guitar that Marc used to borrow fairly often. He took it on a lone writing retreat to a cabin somewhere in Arkansas where he professes to have had a spiritual epiphany. There was something profoundly inspired about several songs he wrote on that sojourn. One of them was what would become 'God of Wonders.' He played me the chord progression, singing a few lyrics like, 'Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth…' Immediately I felt soul-stirred. I sensed that it called for loftier language than we are typically inclined to use. Marc and I both tend to write very personal, introspective lyrics. But I felt like this one needed to be more transcendent – grander than us.”

Steve continued: “We both feel thankful for its inspiration, and humbled to have offered it.

It's beyond our comprehension really – this notion that the Creator, not just of our world, not just of the Milky Way, but of ALL the galaxies in the universe – wants to share an intimate relationship with each of his children.”

What an amazing truth that we hope this song reminds you of!
