Face Of God - John Hiatt

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 how I’m looking

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 down road I’m on

How does them 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 ride a big fancy cars

Then like to cut the grass they sow

They ride a big fancy cars

Then like to cut the grass they sow

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?

Now done my shit, baby

Why don’t you show me what you got?
