Mercy Chinwo Wonder Lyrics Meaning
Wonder is a praise song dedicated to God. In the lyrics, Mercy Chinwo extols God for transforming her life, and for giving her reasons to be a happy person.
The lyrics of Wonder express the joy of Mercy Chinwo: she enjoys the grace and mercies of God, which are renewed daily. That’s why the chorus emphasises: “you dey do wonder.”
"You dey wonder, ehh You dey wonder, ehh You turned my life around, gave me a brand new song You dey do wonder, ehh"
She continues to adulate God, addressing him in different ways to show His power and the significance of His miracles. She portrays Him as the almighty who does what is impossible for man to do. And therefore, deserves all the glory He accrues to Himself.
Though Wonder is a simple danceable song, we can all relate to the lyrics because our hearts always leap for joy when God “embarrasses” us with good things that we don’t deserve ordinarily. On the part of the singer, however, we know this song is coming a few months after her wedding. Hence, the joyous Chinwo has more to say than her song could express.
The background voices in Mercy Chinwo Wonder also suggests the bag of surprises that comes with daily miracles and the act of gratitude that should complement these amazing works of grace.
Based on the lyrics of Wonder, we see that gratitude is important and songs of praise should not cease in our mouths. All we can portray of the singer is a grateful heart and mouth full of praise for the wonderful things God has done for her.
