LYRICS

 

 

What If I am me and God is everyone else?

Would I think more of them than I do of myself?

He's all around if I open my eyes

He's not just found up in the skies

God works through others to show me the way

Ordinary people each ordinary day

So with this in mind, let me look to serve

Ordinary people like they deserve

Don’t let them, get on your nerves

It’s not them, it’s Him we serve

So don’t walk away, observe, observe!

 

<chorus>

Let me look, let me listen

Let me hear, let me see

Let me look, look, listen, listen, hear and see

‘Cause He’s in front of me to some degree

Let me look, let me listen

Let me hear, let me see

Let me look, look, listen, listen, hear and see

The ordinary people right in front of me.

Yeah … right in front of me

Ordinary, as they can be

(But) He’s standing, right in front of me.

Let me look and listen, let me hear and see

Let me look and listen, let me hear and see

Let me look and listen, let me hear and see

Let me look and listen, let me hear and see

 

What if ordinary people are God’s disguise?

You’d be much nicer as He served the fries

If He no longer appears in bushes that burn

He’s still there to help His children grow and learn

I think He lives next door, He mows the grass

He’s at the bus stop, He’s in your class

I’m not saying he is, I’m just saying he could be

Lord let me see those around me

People are all around me

Every day they surround me

It could be you trying to crown me

 

<chorus>

 

Ordinary people, ordinary days

(He’s) talking to me in extraordinary ways

So look for the Lamb but don’t trust the wool

God’s in-cog-ne-to as ordinary people

He’s in-cog-ne-to …

As ordinary people…

He’s in-cog-ne-to …

As ordinary people…

 

<chorus>
