It Is A Thing Most Wonderful – Hymn Lyric
It is a thing most wonderful,
Almost too wonderful to be,
That God’s own Son should come from Heav‘n,
And die to save a child like me.
And yet I know that it is true;
He chose a poor and humble lot,
And wept, and toiled, and mourned, and died,
For love of those who loved Him not.
I cannot tell how He could love
A child so weak and full of sin;
His love must be most wonderful,
If He could die my love to win.
It is most wonderful to know
His love for me so free and sure;
But ’tis more wonderful to see
My love for Him so faint and poor.
And yet I want to love Thee, Lord;
Oh, light the flame within my heart,
And I will love Thee more and more,
Until I see Thee as Thou art.

It Is A Thing Most Wonderful: Reflecting on God’s Incredible Love
In this hymn, titled “It Is A Thing Most Wonderful,” we are reminded of the astonishing and almost unbelievable fact that God’s own Son came from Heaven to Earth, not only to live among us but also to die in order to save each and every one of us, even a child like me. It truly is a thing most wonderful!
When we think about the enormity of this message, it can be overwhelming. The idea that the divine Son of God would choose a poor and humble life, filled with weeping, toiling, mourning, and eventually dying on a cross, all for the sake of those who did not even love Him, is truly awe-inspiring. Such sacrificial and unconditional love is beyond our comprehension.
As the hymn continues, it ponders on the depth of God’s love for us, weak and full of sin as we are. How can it be that God’s love is so immense that He would give up His own Son to die in order to win our love? It is an amazing testament to the boundless nature of His love. If His love is capable of extending to even the most undeserving of sinners, it must be the most wonderful love of all.
Moreover, this hymn also draws attention to the fact that while God’s love for us is indeed most wonderful, our response in return may sometimes be faint and poor. We may struggle to fully love and appreciate Him in the way He deserves. But the hymn expresses a sincere desire to love the Lord more deeply. It asks for the flame of love to be lit within our hearts, so that we may love Him more and more with each passing day.
Interestingly, the hymn emphasizes the idea that it is not just knowing about God’s love, but truly seeing it in action, that makes it even more wonderful. It is one thing to intellectually grasp the concept of God’s love, but witnessing the reality of His love and experiencing it in our own lives is an entirely different and profound experience. When we witness His miracles, experience His grace and mercy, and encounter His love and presence, our love for Him naturally deepens.
So, how do we cultivate a greater love for the Lord? How do we nurture a love that is more than just words and knowledge, but instead a vibrant and fervent love that burns within our hearts? It starts with surrendering our lives to Him and inviting Him into every aspect of our being.
We can begin by spending time in prayer and meditation, seeking His presence and guidance. We can immerse ourselves in His Word, the Bible, studying and reflecting on His teachings, promises, and stories of His unending love for His people. We can also engage in acts of worship and service, offering our talents, time, and resources to honor and glorify Him.
When we open ourselves up to God’s transformative love, allowing Him to work in and through us, our love for Him will naturally grow. As we witness His faithfulness, experience His peace, and encounter His unfathomable love, our hearts will be ignited with a passion for Him. Through this ongoing process, we will gradually love Him more and more, until we reach the point where we can finally see Him as He truly is.
Ultimately, it is a privilege and deep joy to love the Lord. And with each passing day, as our love for Him intensifies, we are transformed into better versions of ourselves, reflecting His love and grace to the world around us. So let us embrace the wonderful reality of God’s love, allowing it to penetrate our hearts and lives, as we strive to love Him more and more every single day.
