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 high and low
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 dark road I'm on

I didn't just show up 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 got a great big fancy car
Then like to cut the grass just so
They got a great big fancy car
Then like to cut the grass just so
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?
I done my share, baby
Why don't you show me what you got?
