Lord of Wonders: A Worship Song Declaring God of Miracles From Creation to Resurrection

About Lord of Wonders

Lord of Wonders is a new worship song that walks through the entire miracle-record of Scripture in a single act of praise by Malachi Ben-David - scripture-rooted Christian worship with a sweeping, celebratory feel built for the congregation that needs to remember what God has already done before it asks Him for what it needs today. If you're looking for a miracle worship song, a God of miracles worship anthem, or Christian worship that traces God's faithfulness from Genesis to the empty tomb without skipping a chapter, this is a worship song written for the long view - for the times when faith is small and the record of what God has done is the only solid ground. Rooted in the creation of Genesis 1, the wilderness miracles of Exodus, the deliverances of Joshua and the judges, the signs of the prophets, and the resurrection itself, Lord of Wonders moves chronologically through the whole of Scripture and lands on a single unshakeable claim: He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore.

Drawn from Genesis 1 and 18-21, Exodus 14-17, Joshua 6 and 10, Judges 6, 1 Kings 18, 2 Kings 4-6, John 2 and 11, Matthew 14, and the four Gospel resurrection accounts, alongside Hebrews 13:8 and Malachi 3:6, this gospel worship release is the most comprehensive miracle-catalog in Malachi Ben-David's catalog - every major miracle from creation to resurrection named, and the same God behind all of them. It is a God of miracles worship song for revival services, prayer meetings, and any gathering that needs to stand on the record before it steps into the unknown. Its refrain never wavers: Lord of Wonders, faithful and true.

Lyrics for Lord of Wonders

LORD OF WONDERS Malachi Ben-David

Verse 1 You spoke light into being, Formed the heavens and earth by Your mighty decree. Sarah laughed, yet Isaac came in her old age, Manna fell daily, bread from heaven for free.

Verse 2 Red Sea parted, dry ground for Your people to tread, Bitter waters sweetened, rock gave water instead. Walls of Jericho fell at the shout of Your name, Sun stood still while Joshua claimed victory's claim.

Verse 3 Gideon's fleece confirmed Your guiding voice, Elijah's fire proved You alone are the choice. Widow's oil multiplied, never ran dry, Shunammite's son breathed life from on high.

Verse 4 Naaman cleansed, axe head floated free, Virgin birth announced by angelic choir. Water to wine brought joy to the hour, Storm calmed with a word, waves obeyed Your call.

Verse 5 Blind received sight, lame rose to walk tall, Five thousand fed with loaves in Your hand. Lazarus called forth from death's dark land, Resurrection morning, stone rolled away — Death defeated, life in endless day.

Chorus Lord of Wonders, faithful and true, Same yesterday, today, forevermore. Every miracle points its glory to You — Lord of Wonders, worthy of praise and more.

Behind the Song

Lord of Wonders opens at the only place a miracle catalog can honestly begin: before anything existed. "You spoke light into being, formed the heavens and earth by Your mighty decree." Genesis 1 is not a warm-up; it is the first data point in the longest argument the Bible ever makes — that the God who made everything from nothing can be trusted with anything. As a worship song, Lord of Wonders earns its climax by starting that far back. By the time the resurrection arrives, the listener has already sat with twenty-two miracles. The empty tomb is not the first impossible thing. It is the last, and the most final.

The first verse holds the two great OT provision miracles in a single breath. "Sarah laughed, yet Isaac came in her old age" — Genesis 18 and 21, the child given to the barren and the elderly, the moment Abraham learned that God's promise is more reliable than biology. "Manna fell daily, bread from heaven for free" — Exodus 16, the wilderness provision that appeared every morning and could not be stored, training an entire nation to trust one day at a time. These two miracles sit together deliberately in Lord of Wonders because they are both about the same thing: God providing what human capacity cannot produce, on His timetable, according to His word.

The second verse is the song's great military movement and it moves like a march. "Red Sea parted, dry ground for Your people to tread / Bitter waters sweetened, rock gave water instead / Walls of Jericho fell at the shout of Your name / Sun stood still while Joshua claimed victory's claim." Four deliverances in four lines — Exodus 14, Exodus 15 and 17, Joshua 6, Joshua 10 — and each one is specific enough to carry its full weight. The sun standing still in Joshua 10 is one of the most audacious miracles in all of Scripture, and Lord of Wonders names it without embarrassment. As a miracle worship song, it treats the historical record the same way the Psalms do: not as mythology to be softened but as evidence to be cited.

The third verse moves into the prophetic era and its gallery of signs. Gideon's fleece in Judges 6 — the double confirmation given to a man who needed to be sure. Elijah's fire on Mount Carmel in 1 Kings 18 — the contest that ended with water-drenched wood consumed and a nation falling on its face. The widow's oil in 2 Kings 4 that never ran dry. The Shunammite's son raised from death in 2 Kings 4. As Christian worship, this verse recovers miracles that modern congregations rarely sing about and places them in the same catalog as the Red Sea and the resurrection, because Scripture places them there. God did not only do the famous things.

The fourth verse is the hinge between the testaments, and it moves with quiet authority. Naaman cleansed of leprosy in 2 Kings 5. An iron axe head retrieved from the Jordan in 2 Kings 6 — the strangest, most domestic miracle in the entire Old Testament, included here precisely because it is small and God did it anyway. Then the turn: "Virgin birth announced by angelic choir / Water to wine brought joy to the hour / Storm calmed with a word, waves obeyed Your call." Luke 1, John 2, Mark 4 — the God of the axe head is the God of the incarnation. The miracles do not get more spectacular as the song moves into the New Testament; they get more personal.

The fifth verse is the gospel in miniature. Blind receiving sight — John 9. The lame rising to walk — the pool of Bethesda, the man let down through the roof, the gate Beautiful. Five thousand fed with five loaves and two fish — Matthew 14, one of the few miracles recorded in all four Gospels. Lazarus called out of the tomb four days dead — John 11, the miracle that triggered the plot to kill Jesus and the one that set the trajectory toward everything that follows. And then: "Resurrection morning, stone rolled away / Death defeated, life in endless day." As a God of miracles anthem, Lord of Wonders treats the resurrection not as a separate category but as the final entry in the longest miracle-list ever assembled — the one that ratifies every miracle that preceded it and guarantees every provision that follows.

The chorus is where all twenty-two miracles resolve into a single statement of trust. "Lord of Wonders, faithful and true / Same yesterday, today, forevermore." Hebrews 13:8 and Malachi 3:6 — the two texts the New Testament uses to anchor God's unchanging nature — arrive together as the chorus, because the point of the whole catalog was never nostalgia. The miracles are not just history; they are evidence. The God who parted the Red Sea and fed the five thousand and called Lazarus by name is the God who hears today's prayer. Lord of Wonders is a worship song built to make that claim feel as solid as it actually is.

Biblical Background

Lord of Wonders is the most scripturally comprehensive song in Malachi Ben-David's catalog, tracing God's miracle-record from Genesis to the resurrection under five movements. Its creation foundation rests on Genesis 1:1-5, with the first provision miracle drawn from Genesis 18 and 21 (the birth of Isaac to Sarah and Abraham) and Exodus 16 (manna from heaven). Its wilderness and conquest miracles span Exodus 14 (the Red Sea), Exodus 15:22-25 (the bitter waters of Marah sweetened), Exodus 17:1-7 (water from the rock), Joshua 6:1-20 (the walls of Jericho), and Joshua 10:12-14 (the sun standing still).

Its prophetic-era miracles draw from Judges 6:36-40 (Gideon's fleece), 1 Kings 18:30-39 (Elijah's fire on Carmel), 2 Kings 4:1-7 (the widow's oil), 2 Kings 4:8-37 (the Shunammite's son raised), 2 Kings 5 (Naaman cleansed of leprosy), and 2 Kings 6:1-7 (the axe head recovered from the Jordan). Its New Testament miracles span Luke 1:26-38 (the virgin birth), John 2:1-11 (water to wine), Mark 4:35-41 (the storm calmed), John 9 (the blind receiving sight), Acts 3:1-10 (the lame walking), Matthew 14:13-21 (five thousand fed), and John 11:1-44 (Lazarus raised). The resurrection rests on all four Gospel accounts. The song closes its theology on Hebrews 13:8 and Malachi 3:6 — the God of every miracle is the same today. Every reference is listed below in KJV, in the order the song moves through it.
