Looking For God

[Intro] [Verse 1] He's walking down the street like he owns the whole town, Hat pulled low, never looking down, Eyes like a warning-better stay out of his way, He's got a reputation nobody wants to test today. But nobody knows what's underneath that coat, Nobody hears the prayers stuck in that throat. He looks like a gunfighter, ready for the fight, But he's just a broken man trying to find the light. [Chorus] I'm looking for God down a dead-end street, Trying to find a Savior underneath these feet. I got a hard face, but a heart that bleeds, I walk like a man but I'm down on my knees, Everybody sees the tough guy I pretend to be, But Lord, You know the man that's underneath. I'm tired of running, tired of hiding from the truth... God, I'm looking for You. [Verse 2] I give everybody the eye when they pass me by, Like I'm daring the world to come and ask me why. Why I walk so hard, why I talk so bold, Why I built these walls so high and cold. Truth is...I scared of what somebody might see, If they look past the armor and get down to me. I ain't looking for trouble, I ain't looking for fame, I'm looking for somebody who can call me by my name. [Bridge] Then I hear a voice in the middle of the noise, Not the sound of thunder-just a Father's voice "Son, you don't have to fight me anymore. You don't have to be the man you were before. Lay down your pride, lay down your pain. You can stop running in the desert rain." [Chorus] I'm looking for God down a dead-end street, And I finally found Him looking back at me. I came with a hard face and a heart full of scars, He met me right there underneath the stars. Everybody saw the tough guy I used to be, But He saw the broken man underneath. I was looking for God... Turns out, He was looking for me. Yeah....He was looking for me. [Outro]
