Way back in the beginning
Long before God gave the law
He looked down on us from heaven
And sin was all He saw
Because everyone was evil
The whole race had gone insane
The Bible says it grieved Him
And His heart was filled with pain

Before Jesus raised up Laz'rus
When all his friends were standin' 'round
Jesus hurt inside so badly
That the tears were comin' down
Then lookin' out over Jerusalem
It was just days before He died
The pain kept gettin' deeper
'Til He broke right down and cried

And sometimes I wonder
When I think of all the sin we choose
When He looks down on all this twisted world
Does God still get the blues?

Even when we break His heart
I believe He keeps it to Himself
He knows most of us are so full of guilt
He won't add on somethin' else
He just keeps on, keeps on givin'
All His blessings from above
Waiting for the moment
We'll return some of His love
And sometimes I wonder
(Ooh, sometimes I wonder)
When I think of all the gifts we refuse
(Ooh, sometimes I wonder)
When He looks down on us from heaven
Does God still get the blues?
(Does God still get the blues?)

Jesus gave His life, His word
And His Name to me and you
Restin' in the Holy Spirit
Is really all that we need to do
But instead, we prefer our traditions
And we all but tell Him that He lied
And we blame Him for our misery
Our blindness and our pride

And sometimes I wonder
(Ooh, sometimes I wonder)
When I see, I see the Godless lives we choose
(Ooh, sometimes I wonder)
Just how much we've grieved His Spirit
Does God still get the blues?
(Does God still get the blues?)

And sometimes I wonder
(Ooh, don't you wonder?)
When I see the lives and the abused
(Ooh, don't you wonder?)
Just how much we've grieved His Holy Spirit
And does God still get the blues?
(Does God still get the blues?)
