Oh Lord You know that I'm not one

To bother You with little things

I've watched Your way of doing things
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
And tried to understand you more than most

No I haven't gone to church the way I ought to

The simple way You go about the things You do
Verse 2:
F# minorF#m
I've seen the doubt upon the face of loved ones
D MajorD A augmentedA
As they sadly placed a wreath of flowers on a tiny grave

And wondered why a child is brought into the world
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
To only live a little while and die you could have saved
E7E7 D MajorD
But I believe that in Your eyes this little child was something special
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
And You wanted it to be with You no doubt

To the family how he slipped into a trance

Knowing all these things were meant to be
