Oh Lord You know that I’m not one to bother You with little things
F
C
And You and I have never been too close
G7
But we’ve always been on speaking terms
F
I’ve watched Your way of doing things
C
G7
C
And tried to understand you more than most
G7
F
No I haven’t gone to church the way I ought to
C
G7
C
But I always thought you knew in my own way I worshiped You
G7
F
While even Your own children doubt and fail to understand
C
G7
C
The simple way You go about the things You do
Am
I’ve seen the doubt upon the face of loved ones
F
C
As they sadly placed a wreath of flowers on a tiny grave
G7
F
And wondered why a child is brought into the world
C
G7
C
To only live a little while and die you could have saved
G7
F
But I believe that in Your eyes this little child was something special
C
G7
C
And You wanted it to be with You no doubt
G7
F
So with out-stretched arms You beckoned it so simple that I reckon
C
G7
C
They can’t understand the way You worked it out
Am
Once I saw a young man growing till he neared the age of knowing
F
C
Then I watched as something happened to his mind
G7
F
No doctor could correct it it was just as I suspected
C
G7
C
And I marveled at Your way of being kind
G7
F
They tried everything in vain and I was there when they explained it
C
G7
C
To the family how he slipped into a trance
G7
F
Guess You looked into the future watched him turn his back upon You
C
G7
C
Loving him so much You couldn’t take the chance
Am
It took a lot of love to die for sinners such as I
F
C
And I guess that’s why You’ve never given up on me
G7
C
You understood when some denied You and even when they crucified You
C
G7
C
Knowing all these things were meant to be
G7
For the stable’s such a simple thing
F
No wonder there were few who came
C
G7
C
To see a king the night that You were born
G7
And I´d ask you one favor if I can
F
Help me to better understand
C
G7
C
The mystery of the wonders You perform
C
Am
F
G7
