The Wonders You Perform Lyrics & Chords

By Jerry Chestnut

(C)Oh Lord You know that I'm not one to (Am)bother You with little things

And (F)You and I have never been too (C)close

But we've (G)always been on speaking terms

I've (F)watched Your way of doing things

And (C)tried to under(G)stand you more than (C)most



No I (G)haven't gone to church the way I (F)ought to

But I always thought you (C)knew in my own (G)way I worshiped (C)You

While (G)even Your own children doubt and (F)fail to understand

The simple (C)way You go (G)about the things You (C)do



I've seen the doubt upon the face of loved ones

As they sadly placed a wreath of flowers on a tiny grave

And wondered why a child is brought into the world

To only live a little while and die you could have saved



But I believe that in Your eyes this little child was something special

And You wanted it to be with You no doubt

So with out-stretched arms You beckoned it so simple that I reckon

They can't understand the way You worked it out



Once I saw a young man growing till he neared the age of knowing

Then I watched as something happened to his mind

No doctor could correct it  it was just as I suspected

And I marveled at Your way of being kind



They tried everything in vain and I was there when they explained it

To the family how he slipped into a trance

Guess You looked into the future watched him turn his back upon You

Loving him so much You couldn't take the chance



It took a lot of love to die for sinners such as I

And I guess that's why You've never given up on me

You understood when some denied You and even when they crucified You

Knowing all these things were meant to be



For the stable's such a simple thing 

No wonder there were few who came

To see a king the night that You were born

And I’d ask you one favor if I can

Help me to better understand 

The mystery of the wonders You perform
