  1. The meaning of gods own creation is that u urself are unique to other people around u and not to be ashamed of that

  2. To be one of God’s wonders is to be unique and to be true to yourself. It’s about not following a crowd and being an individual.Not ditching anything, like your friends,your interests, your sports just to be cool.

  3. The line in this song says ‘a wonder of God’s own creation’ meaning that the person or a person is a mystery to God’s creation. Someone could be very talented in something or even everything and people could say ‘she/he is a wonder of God’s own creation’ because not everyone is as good as them and also people might say it because it is rare that people are really good at everything so they could say it because they’ve never seen something like it before.

    each one of us is a wonder created by God.

  11. I think that the phrase “wonder of God’s own creation” means that we are all
    special and unique, gifted and talented and special but some of us might stand out in a different way.That doesn’t make them any less special or any less gifted or talented than anyone else.
