[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
The mystery of the wonders You perform
[Outro]
G D C G
A mystery of the wonders You perform
