For Who He Really Is

(альбом: Real Life Conversations - 1988)

"Too many hypocrites", I heard her say
I even saw it in the headlines today
"How can I follow God
When His own people turn away?
Nobody's perfect, but I'd just like to see
Somebody living what they say they believe
They've got all this world needs, like they say
I wonder, why won't they give some away?"

[Chorus]
Can she see God
For who He really is
In what she sees in you and me?
Can she see God
For who He really is?
For who He really is
Is all she really needs to see

He steps in to church, and puts up his guard
He seems so happy, but his life's been so hard
He keeps his distance
So they won't see he has scars
It's just religion, it's all dressed up in white
And "God is love, as long as you're living right"
But does he know that Jesus also has scars?
And His love can reach him, no matter how far

Can he see God
For who He really is
In what he sees in you and me?
Can he see God
For who He really is?
For who He really is
Is all he really need to see

The skeptics are watching
To see who will fall
So maybe they could see the truth in it all
Maybe someday, we'll cross their path unaware
And they'll stop and look at us
What will be there?

Will they see God
For who He really is
In what they see in you and me?
Will they see God
For who He really is?
For who He really is
Is all they really need to see
