Lyrics:

Oh Lord, you know that I''m not one to bother you with little thi-ings**lf**And you and I have never been too-oo close**lf**But we''ve always been on speakin'' terms**lf**I''ve watched you with doin'' things**lf**And tried to understand you more than most**lf****lf**No I haven''t gone to church the way I ought to**lf**But I always thought you knew in my own way I worshipped you**lf**While even your own children doubt and fail to understand**lf**The simple way you go about the things you do**lf****lf**I''ve seen the doubt upon the face of loved ones**lf**As they sadly placed a wreath of flowers on a tiny grave**lf**And wondered why a child is brought into the world**lf**To only live a little while and die, you could have saved**lf****lf**But I believe that in your eyes this little child was somethin'' special**lf**And you wanted it to be with you, no doubt**lf**So with out-stretched arms you beckoned it so simple that I reckon**lf**They can''t understand the way you worked it out**lf****lf**Once I saw a young man growin'' till he neared the age of knowin''**lf**Then I watched as somethin'' happened to his mind**lf**No doctor could correct it, it was just as I suspected**lf**And I marvelled at your way of bein'' kind**lf****lf**They tried everything in vain and I was there when they explained it**lf**To the family, how he slipped into a trance**lf**Guess you looked into the future, watched him turn his back upon you**lf**Lovin'' him so much you couldn''t take the chance**lf****lf**It took a lot of love to die, for sinners such as I**lf**And I guess that''s why you''ve never given up on me**lf**You understood when some denied you and even when they crucified you**lf**Knowin'' all these things were meant to be-ee**lf****lf**For the stable''s such a simple thing, no wonder there were few who came**lf**To see a king the night that
