Background and reception[]

"The Wonders You Perform" was first recorded on February 26, 1970 at the Columbia Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Three additional tracks were recorded during a session produced by Billy Sherrill. Sherrill was Wynette's long-time producer.

The song was written by Jerry Chesnut, who was Wynette's brother-in-law at the time. Chesnut originally wrote it as a gospel song about the "miracles of Jesus" and how he helps heal through challenging times.^[1]

The song reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in early 1970. It did not chart within the Billboard Hot 100, but instead reached a charting position on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 list. The song was issued on Wynette's second compilation album with Epic Records entitled Tammy's Greatest Hits, Volume Two.^[2]

"The Wonders You Perform" was also notably recorded by Jean Shepard in 1971 and by Connie Smith in 1974.^[3] but, most of all, was a biggest hit in Italy in 1971, sung by Ornella Vanoni with the title Domani è un altro giorno (Tomorrow is another day). Italian lyrics were written by Giorgio Calabrese.
