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 YOUR WAY
OF 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 WORSHIP 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
OUTSTRETCHED 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 GROWIN'
TILL HE NEARED THE AGE
OF KNOWIN'
THEN I WATCHED
AS SOMETHIN' HAPPENED
TO HIS MIND
NO DOCTOR COULD
CORRECT IT
IT WAS JUST
AS I SUSPECTED
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 A SINNER 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
LORD A 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 ONE FAVOR
IF I CAN
HELP ME TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND
THE MYSTERY
OF THE WONDERS
YOU PERFORM
THE MYSTERY
OF THE WONDERS
YOU PERFORM
