Texty: Steven Curtis Chapman. For Who He Really Is.
"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 just want 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
Can she see God for who He really is
In what she sees in you and me, hey
Can she see God for who He really is
For who He really is, is all she really needs to see
He slips into church and he puts up his guard
They look so happy but his life?s been so hard
He keeps his distance so they won?t see the scars
It?s just religion that?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, hey
Can he see God for who He really is
For who He really is, is all he really needs to see
Is all he really needs to see
The skeptics are watching to see who will fall
While those disillusioned search for the truth in it all
Maybe today we?ll cross their paths 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 sees in you and me, hey
Can they see God for who He really is
For who He really is, is all they really needs to see
Can they see God for who He really is
They really need to see, who He really is
