Charlie Sexton Gospel Lyrics

Don't you look out your window
Don't you peek through the door
Cause you just might find the thing that scares you most
I ain't talking about the devil man
Ain't talking about ghost
Just that shapeless thing that's made us sorrows host

Too much information might cripple your soul
The world is challenging your faith, more than you know
If you're looking for forgiveness
You better hit your knees
If you're asking Jesus, you better ask him please

Now everybody's searching
So many are lost
They serve themselves no matter what the cost
Yea the path is narrow and the ground is hard
No streets of gold, down here only broken and marred A lonely night is a recurring thing
Empty rooms and not a word to sing
So I look to the hymns when my spirit sinks
Don't look for Jesus, he's closer than you think

Now when the preacher shamed you
Yea the preacher lied
He may say you're damned
But it ain't he who decides
And the people shunned you like some people do
But the words they spoke, were as useful as one shoe
Happiness is a slippery thing
Like a pig and grease
Something's coming and I hope it's peace
Well it's bound to happen. I know he understands
I'm sure that Jesus holds it in his hands
