[Verse]
GIf you've never fed the hungry, or given clothes to the poor,
If Cyou've never helped the stranger who came knocking on your door,
If you Gforgot to send some flowers to sick and shut-in friend,
well if you ain't helping Cnone of these, Dthen you ain't helping GHim.
GIf you've ever seen some children, playing ball behind a school,
If Cyou've ever watched an old man, plowing ground behind mule,
If you've Gever stopped and listened, when you could not hear a sound,
then brother you Chave met Him, Dbecause Jesus gets a Ground.
[Chorus]
Would Gyou recognize CJesus if you Gmet Him face to face?
or would you wonder if He's Cjust another Gone you could not Dplace?
You Gmay not find Him Ccoming in a Gchariot of the Lord,
Jesus could be Criding in a D7"49 GFord.
[Verse]
GYou can find Him in your Momma's eyes, or in your Daddy's face,
You Ccan find He's always there to help you win the human race,
You can Gfind Him in the mountains, downtown, or by the sea,
And brother, here's Choping someone can find Dhim, in you and Gme.
[Chorus]
Would Gyou recognize CJesus if you Gmet Him face to face?
Or would you wonder if He's Cjust another Gone you could not Dplace?
You Gmay not find Him Ccoming in a Gchariot of the Lord,
Jesus could be Criding in a D"49 GFord
[Chorus]
Would Gyou recognize CJesus if you Gmet Him face to face?
Or would you wonder if He's Cjust another Gone you could not Dplace?
You Gmay not find Him Ccoming in a Gchariot of the Lord,
Jesus could be Criding in a D"49 GFord
