The Face of Christ Lyrics

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 thinkHow 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 ChristAfter 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 guys 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 ChristSee 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 allSo 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, you just might be dealingHow 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
With the face of Christ
With the face of Christ, yeahWith the face of Christ, yeah
With the face of Christ
