Liars and Thieves
I was praying with one eye open
When I saw the face of God
He stumbled in through the doors with the gold he'd stolen
His face full of shock and awe
He was a picture of the life he'd chosen
Full of pain and full of grief
It was then I remembered the words one spoken
There's a God among liars and thieves
And I won't cover my eyes
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
I've been searching these stained glass windows
To find the face of God
But all I've found are lifeless statues
Out of reach with no visible flas
So I climbed a steeple for a glimpse of his face
Something that I've never seen
And there he stood at the crossroad of grace
where holiness and justice meet
And I won't cover my eyes
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
And I won't live my life blind
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
We are the thief in the night
We're the liar on the run
We've got nowhere to hide
We're caught in the act
Guilty of all our lust
The line between right and wrong
Cuts through each of us
Take an eye for an eye
And turn your heart into stone
This is all we've lived for
It's all we know
And our lives are mirrors reflecting back our souls
I won't push you away
And I won't cover my eyes
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
And I won't live my life blind
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
When I saw the face of God
He stumbled in through the doors with the gold he'd stolen
His face full of shock and awe
He was a picture of the life he'd chosen
Full of pain and full of grief
It was then I remembered the words one spoken
There's a God among liars and thieves
And I won't cover my eyes
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
I've been searching these stained glass windows
To find the face of God
But all I've found are lifeless statues
Out of reach with no visible flas
So I climbed a steeple for a glimpse of his face
Something that I've never seen
And there he stood at the crossroad of grace
where holiness and justice meet
And I won't cover my eyes
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
And I won't live my life blind
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
We are the thief in the night
We're the liar on the run
We've got nowhere to hide
We're caught in the act
Guilty of all our lust
The line between right and wrong
Cuts through each of us
Take an eye for an eye
And turn your heart into stone
This is all we've lived for
It's all we know
And our lives are mirrors reflecting back our souls
I won't push you away
And I won't cover my eyes
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
And I won't live my life blind
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
The face of God is hiding inside
