The Wonders You Perform

G   G

[Verse 1]
   G
Oh Lord You know that I'm not one
Em
   To bother You with little things
C                                 G
And You and I have never been too close
          D
But we've always been on speaking terms
     C
I've watched Your way of doing things
    G             D                   G     G  D/F#  Em
And tried to understand you more than most  (walk down)

[Verse 2]
     D                                C
No I haven't gone to church the way I ought to
                         G              D               G    G  D/F#  Em
But I always thought you knew in my own way I worshiped You  (walk down)
      D                                C
While even Your own children doubt and fail to understand
           G           D                   G
The simple way You go about the things You do

[Verse 3]
     G                               Em
I've seen the doubt upon the face of loved ones
                       C                           G
As they sadly placed a wreath of flowers on a tiny grave
    D                                 C
And wondered why a child is brought into the world
               G                D                  G     G D/F#  Em
To only live a little while and die you could have saved (walk down)
        D                                   C
But I believe that in Your eyes this little child was something special
    G                D           G        G  D/F#  Em
And You wanted it to be with You no doubt (walk down)
        D7                                    C
So with out-stretched arms You beckoned it so simple that I reckon
     G                    D                 G
They can't understand the way You worked it out

[Verse 4]
     G                                  Em
Once I saw a young man growing till, he neared the age of knowing
       C                                    G
Then I watched as something happened to his mind
   D                               C
No doctor could correct it, it was just as I suspected
    G                  D            G
And I marveled at Your way of being kind
           D                            C
They tried everything in vain and I was there when they explained it
       G             D              G
To the family how he slipped into a trance
          D                                  C
Guess You looked into the future watched him turn his back upon You
       G               D                 G
Loving him so much You couldn't take the chance

[Verse 5]
   G                             Em
It took a lot of love to die for sinners such as I
            C                                   G
And I guess that's why You've never given up on me
    D                                   C
You understood when some denied You and even when they crucified You
G                 D                    G
Knowing all these things were meant to be (walk down)
        D
For the stable's such a simple thing
   C
No wonder there were few who came
   G              D                   G
To see a king the night that You were born (walk down)
        D
And I'd ask you one favor if I can
     C
Help me to better understand
    G              D              Em   C
