The Face of Christ |
| He shares a room outside with a dozen other guys |
| And the only roof he knows is that sometimes starry sky |
| A tattered sleeping bag on a concrete slab is his bed |
| And it’s too cold to talk tonight |
| So I just sit with him instead and think |
| How did I find myself in a better place |
| I can’t look down on the frown on the other guy’s face |
| ‘Cause when I stoop down low, look him square in the eye |
| I get a funny feeling, I just might be dealing |
| With the face of Christ |
| After sixteen years in a cold, gray prison yard |
| Somehow his heart is soft, but keeping simple faith is hard |
| He lays his Bible open on the table next to me |
| And as I hear his humble prayer |
| I feel his longing to be free someday |
| How did I find myself in a better place |
| I can’t look down on the frown on the other guy’s face |
| ‘Cause when I stoop down low, look him square in the eye |
| I get a funny feeling, I just might be dealing |
| With the face of Christ |
| See you had no choice which day you would be born |
| Or the color of your skin, or what planet you’d be on |
| Would your mind be strong, would your eyes be blue or brown |
| Whether daddy would be rich, or if momma stuck around at all |
| So if you find yourself in a better place |
| You can’t look down on the frown on the other guy’s face |
| You gotta stoop down low, look him square in the eye |
| And get a funny feeling, ‘cause you might be dealing … |
| How did I find myself in a better place |
| I can’t look down on the frown on the other guy’s face |
| ‘Cause when I stoop down low, look him square in the eye |
| I get a funny feeling, I just might be dealing |
| With the face of Christ |
