Have You Ever Stopped To Wonder?

HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO WONDER?

Have you ever stopped to wonder what heaven will be like?
...the mansion God has promised of beauty, splendor, and light.

Have you ever stopped to wonder when we cross that river of life?
We all will live forever: no more pain, or grief, or strife!

Have you ever stopped to wonder when our bodies He'll transform?
...changed and made immortal, like Jesus be conformed.

Have you ever stopped to wonder when His face at last we'll see?
Oh what a glorious vision; what bliss! What ecstasy!

Have you ever stopped to wonder the reason why He came?
...to give us life eternal by believing in His name.

Have you ever stopped to wonder how He suffered on that tree?
...stripped and whipped, and tortured, He died there for you and me.

Have you ever stopped to wonder? 
Have you ever stopped?
Have you ever? 
Have you?
