Father Johnson
Father Johnson lifts his head
Meaning every word he said
Looking for the comfort of an answer
Hasn't always been this way
Everything was going great
When everyone would come to hear the preacher
He's crying out
Lord help my doubt
How long, how long, how long
Will you hide Your face from me
Father Johnson at the door
Welcoming the rich and poor
Looking for a sign or for a wonder
But Jack's arriving on his own
Shakes his hand but doesn't know
The words to say to heal a man who's broken
He's crying out
Lord help my doubt
How long, how long, how long
Will you hide Your face from me
He's crying out
Lord help my doubt
How long, how long, how long
Will you hide Your face from me
The more I want You
The more I seek You
I'm looking for You
But You seem so far away
So hear me calling
So hear me knocking
I'm holding on but
You seem so far away
The more I want You
The more I seek You
I'm looking for You
But You seem so far away
So hear me calling
So hear me knocking
I'm holding on but
You seem so far away
Meaning every word he said
Looking for the comfort of an answer
Hasn't always been this way
Everything was going great
When everyone would come to hear the preacher
He's crying out
Lord help my doubt
How long, how long, how long
Will you hide Your face from me
Father Johnson at the door
Welcoming the rich and poor
Looking for a sign or for a wonder
But Jack's arriving on his own
Shakes his hand but doesn't know
The words to say to heal a man who's broken
He's crying out
Lord help my doubt
How long, how long, how long
Will you hide Your face from me
He's crying out
Lord help my doubt
How long, how long, how long
Will you hide Your face from me
The more I want You
The more I seek You
I'm looking for You
But You seem so far away
So hear me calling
So hear me knocking
I'm holding on but
You seem so far away
The more I want You
The more I seek You
I'm looking for You
But You seem so far away
So hear me calling
So hear me knocking
I'm holding on but
You seem so far away
