Somebody I meet rubs me up the wrong way
What do I say?
Do I trust what I feel, and let bad feelings show?
Do I trust what I know?
I need to look beneath the surface
To learn to love my enemy
There's something beautiful I'm missing
I need Your Grace so I can see
The sign of You within that person
Somehow You're hidden there from me
I need to grow so I can see You
And embrace reality
'Cause You are hidden deep beneath the surface
What do I need to face in myself now to grow
That this person can show?
What's the part of myself that I don't want to see?
What is crippling me?
I need to look beneath the surface
To learn to love my enemy
There's something beautiful I'm missing
I need Your Grace so I can see
The sign of You within that person
Somehow You're hidden there from me
I need to grow so I can see You
And embrace reality
'Cause You are hidden deep beneath the surface
Sometimes I'm too obtuse for You to teach
Humility seems always out of reach:
"Hey Lord, I feel I'm right
Please just support me with Your Might
So I can win the fight"
Yeah, right...
Like, maybe I'm a Pharisee
Maybe I'm not blind enough to see
I need to look beneath the surface
To learn to love my enemy
There's something beautiful I'm missing
I need Your Grace so I can see
The sign of You within that person
Somehow You're hidden there from me
I need to grow so I can see You
And embrace reality
'Cause You are hidden deep beneath the surface
Yes, You are hidden deep beneath the surface
