This week’s featured song story comes to us from CAIN. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Wonderful (feat. Steven Curtis Chapman).”
“The song idea came from a verse in Isaiah where long before Jesus was ever born, the prophet Isaiah talked about what He would be like. And I thought it was so interesting that He was called before anything else a wonderful counselor. That is the tenderness of Christmas all wrapped up.” – Madison Cain (CAIN)

“Wonderful (feat. Steven Curtis Chapman)” Lyrics
VERSE 1
Gathered round the table, so much to be thankful for
It’s Christmas, oh, how I’ve missed this
Through the joy and laughter, you can feel the sadness
Cause this Christmas everyone’s not with us
Pre Chorus
It’s the time of year when happiness and cheer
Won’t be enough to get me through the night
Chorus 1
I need a Wonderful Counselor
The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace
Who’s strong enough to carry me
Immanuel, God with us
The One who’s love will never end
Oh, Jesus can you make this season
Wonderful
VERSE 2
Almighty in a manger, told us He’d be no stranger
To all our sorrow, all the hurt we’ll ever know
So let these gifts remind us how Love came down to find us
Wonder of the ages, the life, the truth, the way
Chorus 2
He is our Wonderful Counselor
The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace
Who’s strong enough to carry me
Immanuel, God with us
The One who’s love will never end
Oh, Jesus can you make this season
Bridge
(Wonderful) For unto us a child is born
(Wonderful) For unto us a son is given
(Wonderful) And He will live, and He will die
To conquer death and bring us life
Forever He will be our
Chorus 3
Wonderful Counselor
The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace
Who’s strong enough to carry me
Immanuel, God with us
The One who’s love will never end
Oh, Jesus You are wonderful
You’re wonderful (You’re wonderful)
