I did Susan's challenge this week...it's about faith and doubt and the SPACE it creates between God and man
lyrics
If I could see You
Lyrics: Jon Witteveen
V1
Sometimes, when I’m in my head
I wonder where You went when You said,
“I’m going home but I’ll be back someday”
I read it in a Book You didn’t write
So it’s not exactly black and white
So I think I need You to open up my eyes
C1
Jesus Christ
Where are You tonight?
I’m almost a ghost
And Heaven seems so far
If I could see You walk in
I’d take my black box and toss it
I believe in You
But tonight I wanna see
V2
I turn a chaplet and I say amen
But I only call You when I need something
I give You spare change in an envelope
I’m not the hero in the homily
I’m just a creep with a family
I haven’t prayed in days and You’re the only one who knows
C1
Jesus Christ
Where are You tonight?
I’m almost a ghost
And Heaven seems so far
If I could see You walk in
I’d take my black box and toss it
I believe in You
But tonight I wanna see
BRIDGE
I wanna see Your fingerprints
Or some kind of evidence
Forgive me, Lord, I just wanna know You’re real
Maybe I’ll meet You in the mornin’ light
Maybe I’ll see You when I see The Light
Whatever, I can wait another night
And if the end is the beginning so be it
Please forgive me, Lord, I just wanna know You’re real
C1
Jesus Christ
Where are You tonight?
I’m almost a ghost
And Heaven seems so far
If I could see You walk in
I’d take my black box and toss it
I believe in You
But tonight I wanna see
