I’m not sure what to make of “God of Wonders” by Steve Hindalong and Marc Byrd, No57 in As One Voice: the Next Generation. It is another P&W song and the tune is insistent and memorable – I can’t get it out of the vacant spaces of my brain at the moment. Lyrically, I have issues with “God of wonders beyond our galaxy.” I’d be happier with beyond the corner shop to make sure no-one is thinking spatially about God. I know it is a Psalm (Ps 136) but I forgive the Psalmist his temporal frame – I’m not sure Byrd and Hindalong get the same privilege. They are, at least, experienced musicians with careers outside Christian music, which gives them brownie points from me – and Steve is a drummer, for which we forgive much.
There is a piano arrangement here that takes it from the key of G to Bb (?a good idea), but the official version can be purchased for download from spiritandsong.
Incidentally the composer’s version on the CD is another great pop song. The internet again informs me that this associated with Chris Tomlin who has good taste in pop songs I suppose. The clip is from a band called Third Day.
Lord of all creation
Of water, earth, and sky
The heavens are Your tabernacle

Would you happen to have God of Wonders and Revelation Song on Midi format. The last few midi files I created took about a week and 1/2 inserting each one note at a time on my composer. I am not a musician so I cant play the song and import it in my software and and it seems folks arent too ready to do it for me when they find out its praise and worship music. I make my own praise and worship karaoke music for my prayer group.
I will send you e-mail about this, Andrew.
I am looking for an midi version of this song. Can you help?
