The Face Of Christ Lyrics - Singles - Chris Rice

He shares a room outside with a dozen other guys 

And the only roof He knows is that sometimes starry sky 

A tattered sleeping bag on a concrete slab is His bed 

And its too cold to talk tonight, so I just sit with Him instead and think 

How did I find myself in a better place 

I cant look down on the frown on the other guys face 

Cause when I stoop down low, look Him square in the eye 

I get a funny feeling, I just might be dealing with the face of Christ 

After sixteen years in a cold, gray prison yard 

Somehow His heart is soft, but keeping simple faith is hard 

He lays His Bible open on the table next to me 

And as I hear His humble prayer, I feel His longing to be free someday 

How did I find myself in a better place 

I cant look down on the frown on the other guys face 

Cause when I stoop down low, look Him square in the eye 

I get a funny feeling, I just might be dealing with the face of Christ 

See you had no choice which day you would be born 

Or the color of your skin, or what planet youd be on 

Would your mind be strong, would your eyes be blue or brown 

Whether daddy would be rich, or if momma stuck around at all 

So if you find yourself in a better place 

You cant look down on the frown on the other guys face 

You gotta stoop down low, look Him square in the eye 

And get a funny feeling, you just might be dealing 

How did I find myself in a better place 

I cant look down on the frown on the other guys face 

Cause when I stoop down low, look Him square in the eye 

I get a funny feeling, I just might be dealing with the face of Christ 

With the face of Christ 

With the face of Christ, yeah 

With the face of Christ, yeah 

With the face of Christ
