christ look upon us in this city
and keep our sympathy and pity fresh
our faces
heaven would
lest we grow hard

it's cold out, i'm feelin' real tired
the moon's up, the sun's now retired
how can i carry on like this?
but would i be missed?
would i be missed?
i've never seen the day in comfort
i've never seen the day a single day smile
but the pain that i fell
just makes me unreal
it hurts all the while
it hurts all the while

christ look upon us in this city
and keep our sympathy and pity fresh
our faces
heaven would
lest we grow hard

so baby, don't you have no fear
the way out is easy and clear
oh i know it's so hard to be kind
but it will only take time
it will only take time

i've never seen the day in comfort
i've never seen the day, a single day, smile
but what you call sin does not lie within
it just eats up your mind
oh its eats up your mind

christ look upon us in this city
and keep our sympathy and pity fresh
our faces
heaven would
lest we grow hard

i've never seen the day in comfort
i've never seen the day, a single day, smile
free will to us He gave
yet every church today
on our knees and pray
on our knees and pray

christ look upon us in this city
and keep our sympathy and pity fresh
our faces
heaven would
lest we grow hard
