[Verse 1]
He believed if you had a little faith
You could stop the rain
And he believed if you got a little love
It would ease the pain
But still he's suffering

[Chorus]
Searching for the face of Jesus
Looking for the light we need
Searching for the face of Jesus
Painted in the blood we bleed

[Verse 2]
By the side of a giant swimming pool
With a mystic book
Hanging out with the guys and playing the fool
Fat as King Farouk
But look he's suffering

[Chorus]
Searching for the face of Jesus
Downtown Memphis, Tennessee
Searching for the face of Jesus
Science is a mystery
[Verse 3]
Oh and sometimes there's a close shave
They come, they go
Keeps the flowers fresh at his mom's grave
And talks to her as though

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Searching for the face of Jesus
Looking for the light we need
Searching for the face of Jesus
Painted in the blood we bleed

[Chorus]
Searching for the face of Jesus
Downtown Memphis, Tennessee
Searching for the face of Jesus
Science is a mystery
