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 |
