Lyrics Face Of God - John Hiatt

Face Of God

Tell me how much more suffering
Before you see the face of God?
Tell me how much more suffering
Before you see the face of God?
Now my eyes are blind from crying
Don’t know how many more tears I’ve got!
They say God is a devil
Until you look him in the eye
They say God is a devil
Until you look him in the eye
I can barely lift my head up
And sometimes I don’t even wanna try
I’m not looking for love, baby
Looking how I’m looking
Anybody tell me where all love go?!
I know I want something
Before you see the eyes of God
Cause I’m busting down to nothing
And its a long down road I’m on
How does them show up yesterday?
Like a rain come down from the cloud
I just didn’t show up yesterday
Like a rain come down from a cloud
I was drawing blood from the enemy
Long before my neighbors got proud
They ride a big fancy cars
Then like to cut the grass they sow
They ride a big fancy cars
Then like to cut the grass they sow
I’m doing cartwheel on the front lawn
I’m still coming to the kitchen door
Tell me how much more suffering
Before you see the eyes of God?
Tell me how much more suffering
Before you see the eyes of God?
Now done my shit, baby
Why don’t you show me what you got?
