Jennifer Brooker from Oxford tells how a track by Chris Eaton impacted her life

I am sailing an ocean of love
I am crossing the great big divide
Right out of the depths of despair
You lifted me high, took the veil from my eyes

After all the rain comes the dawning of a brand new day
Oh, what wonderful world!
Oh, what a wonderful world!

There's a couple embraced on a hill
There's a child on the sand skimming the stories
Over the break of the waves
Is the burning sky, to which I belong

There's no doubt I have learned from the pain
(I pray Jesus will halt its return)
Even in the heart of the storm I am able to stand
'cos I know
Who I am

After all the rain comes the dawning of a brand new day
Oh, what a wonderful world (times 4)

For you, and for me, and for everyone who will believe
There's a hope, there's a power
There's a stream of living water that flows so far

We can all be forgiven if we raise our hands to heaven
For the days of grace are a prayer away
And then, like me, you will see, you will see

What a wonderful world, what a wonderful world! (times 3)
