John Schlitt - Face of God lyrics

You can close your eyes to hide your fears Hold your eyes to block the cries You can turn your head to wipe your tears But their hunger never dies It's beyond all understanding, but it's left to you and me (chorus) Do you hear what heaven hears? Do you know it in your heart? Do you share the pain and cry the tears But don't know where to start? When you give unto the least of these You become the gift of love When you look into their eyes You see the face of God There's a hand that's reaching out to you With a spark of hope inside To the child with nothing left to do Would you keep the flame alive? What all the world has pushed aside, is the greatest gift of all (repeat chorus) Time is slipping by us every day We can act or let it get away Now's the time to define ourselves and say "We are the hands that feed and live the love of God" (repeat chorus x 2)
