The Wonders You Perform
Tammy Wynette
From video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwdmgl_JsSY [Intro] [Verse 1] Oh Lord You know that I’m not one To bother You with little things And You and I have never been too close But we’ve always been on speaking terms I’ve watched Your way of doing things And tried to understand you more than most No I haven’t gone to church the way I ought to But I always thought you knew in my own way I worshiped You While even Your own children doubt and fail to understand The simple way You go about the things You do [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] A mystery of the wonders You perform
