The Wonders You Perform lyrics

Oh Lord, you know that I`m not one to bother you with little thi-ings
And you and I have never been too-oo close

You understood when some denied you and even when they crucified you
Knowin` all these things were meant to be-ee

For the stable`s such a simple thing, no wonder there were few who came
To see a king the night that
