Lyrics:
1. A parched land longing for rain
A fervent prayer for moisture again
In one night the storm descends
And brings the years-long drought to an end
CHORUS: Fortress walls fall down with a cry in His name
With His power chains are broken flesh withstands fire's flame
If He can make mountains move if He can part the great sea
Then the Lord can work wonders in me
2. A parched soul longing for light
A fervent prayer for strength in the fight
The One sent with life-cleansing might
Gives back to the blinded heart sight
CHORUS
If He can make mountains move If He can part the great sea
Then the Lord can work wonders in me

Story:
"The Lord Can Work Wonders" (Spring 2005)
I always have spaces of time where nothing comes for weeks, then in one night a whole song comes out. "Wonders" is another example of that truism. It's in 6/8, which has been occupying my thoughts for awhile, and is a reaffirmation that if the Lord can do "it" for so many others, He can do "it" for me too! That's what I really needed to know at the time it was written. Fall 2009: Most non-LDS patrons to the site have come seeking this song, isn't that interesting? :)
