Intro:
A A

Verse 1:
A
Oh Lord You know that I'm not one
F#m
   To bother You with little things
D                                 A
And You and I have never been too close
          E7
But we've always been on speaking terms

     D
I've watched Your way of doing things
    A             E7                  A
And tried to understand you more than most
     E7                               D
No I haven't gone to church the way I ought to
                         A              E7               A  F#m
But I always thought you knew in my own way I worshiped You

      E7                               D
While even Your own children doubt and fail to understand
           A           E7                  A
The simple way You go about the things You do


Verse 2:
                                     F#m
I've seen the doubt upon the face of loved ones
                       D                           A
As they sadly placed a wreath of flowers on a tiny grave
    E7                                D
And wondered why a child is brought into the world
               A                E7                 A
To only live a little while and die you could have saved

        E7                                  D
But I believe that in Your eyes this little child was something special
    A                E7          A
And You wanted it to be with You no doubt
        E7                                    D
So with out-stretched arms You beckoned it so simple that I reckon
     A                    E7                A  F#m F#
They can't understand the way You worked it out


Verse 3:
     B                                 G#m
Once I saw a young man growing till he neared the age of knowing
       E                                    B
Then I watched as something happened to his mind
   F#7                             E
No doctor could correct it, it was just as I suspected
    B                  F#7          B
And I marveled at Your way of being kind

           F#7                          E
They tried everything in vain and I was there when they explained it
       B             F#7            B
To the family how he slipped into a trance
          F#7                                E
Guess You looked into the future watched him turn his back upon You
       B               F#7               B      G
Loving him so much You couldn't take the chance


Verse 4:
   C                             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
    G                                   F
You understood when some denied You and even when they crucified You
C                 G                    C
Knowing all these things were meant to be

        G
For the stable's such a simple thing
   F
No wonder there were few who came
   C              G                   C
To see a king the night that You were born
        G
And I'd ask you one favor if I can

     F
Help me to better understand
    C              G              Am  F
