The Wonder of it All (Bob Nolan)
Let my heart on the wings of the four winds blow To the shores of the seven seas, And I’ll still hear His voice In the wild winds rejoice. Oh the wonder of it all ~ I know He’s watching me.
Refrain: I have seen the pagan wonders in lands a-far away And I’ve heard the sirens calling, “Come you back to Mandalay.” I have crossed the rugged mountains and sailed the raging sea But the wonder of it all ~ I know He’s watching me.
Every day, every step of my wandering way Is in tune with the thundering sound. From the high waterfall To the deep canyon’s call Comes the wonder of it all ~ I know He’s watching me.
There’s a bright silver bell ringing in my heart Every time that I hear His name. And the joys that extend Through the hand of each friend, That’s the wonder of it all ~ I know He’s watching me.
