IN GOD’S EYES
COPYRIGHT 2009 WILKINSON/WOOD

MASON CRUSHED BEER CANS FINER FOLKS THREW DOWN
COLLECTING THEIR LITTER TO GET PENNIES A POUND
HE WORKED ALLEYS LIKE HOOKERS WORKED THE STREET
LIVING UNNOTICED TO MOST HE’D MEET
HIS EYES, DARK AND HOLLOW , SHOULD HAVE SCARED ME
BUT CHILDREN SEE ANGELS THAT OTHERS CAN’T SEE

(CHORUS)
GOD DOESN’T CARE WHERE YOU LAY YOUR HEAD
A BENCH ON THE SIDEWALK OR FOUR POSTER BED
HE DOESN’T CARE WHAT YOU DRIVE OR WEAR
GOD DOESN’T CARE WHAT YOU BUY
CAUSE WE’RE ALL THE SAME IN GOD’S EYES

MOMMA WOULD TELL ME, “STEER CLEAR OF THAT MAN”
I’D TAG ALONG WITH HIM, LIKE HIS BIGGEST FAN
STRAY DOGS AND CHILDREN FOLLOWED HIM WITHOUT FEAR
UNDER HIS BREATH THEY MIGHT HEAR
“I’M AS COMMON AS A COLD, MOST TIMES AS UNWANTED
BUT JESUS SAVES AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT”

(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE
LAST SUNDAY A LESSON WAS TOLD
GOD HAS A PLACE FOR HOMELESS SOULS
SO THE STORY GOES


MASON CARVED TOY SOLDIERS OUT OF SAWMILL BIRCH
UNDERNEATH THE WINDOW OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
HE LEARNED THE GOSPEL THOUGH HE NEVER READ
HE SPREAD THE WORDS THAT PREACHER SAID

REPEAT CHORUS
