lyrics

I've spent my entire life
approaching you in different ways
Now I can only think
that I could never be saved
I've been told you died for me,
But if it was for me you died
Where is that everlasting peace?
O my God, where do you hide?

Where do you hide, my love?

I've looked in many churches
but there was no sign of you
I looked behind the pulpit
and I looked beneath the pews
I grew weary in my searching
So I took a look outside
Now my heart is asking sorely,
"O my God, where do you hide?"

Where do you hide, my love?
Where do you hide, my love?
Have I gone blind? Have I lost my sight?
Where do you hide, my love?

It's been said the world is ending
before we make it to next year
Most people don't believe it,
but some people live in fear
As for me, I couldn't care less, no
I won't be picking sides
Wherever you snuck off to, well
I'd like to hitch a ride

Where do you hide, my love?
Where do you hide, my love?
Have I gone blind? Have I lost my sight?
Where do you hide, my love?

I've lost the Holy Needle
In this filthy haystack
Now I've become the prodigal son
And The Weight is breaking my back
If ever you should hear me
with my unsanctified groans
I'm sorry for your ears
I was just looking for my home

Where do you hide, my love?
Where do you hide, my love?
Have I gone blind? Have I lost my sight?
Where do you hide, my love?
