Wonders You Perform Lyrics

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 speakin' terms

I've watched you with doin' 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 worshipped you

While even your own children

Doubt and fail to understand

The simple way you go about the things you 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 somethin' special

And you wanted it to be with you, no doubt

So with out-stretched arms you beckoned

It's so simple that I reckon

They can't understand the way you worked it out.George Jones - Wonders You Perform - http://motolyrics.com/george-jones/wonders-you-perform-lyrics.html

And I marvelled at your way of bein' 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

Lovin' 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

Knowin' 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...
