The Wonders You Perform - Tammy Wynette Lyrics - George Jones

Tammy Wynette & George Jones 

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. 

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. 

Photos 

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...
