Look at Us Now Lyrics

On a gray April morning

I took a lonesome walk

I didn’t have no place to go

So I ended up in a house of God

Saw a preacher at the pulpit

Wearing green pastel and white

He cried, Lord, please have mercy

and make everything alright

He said, Look at us crying

Look at us now

We’re waiting for salvation

But the rain keeps on falling down

I saw a woman with a moustache

And a man with a bad toupee

His wig was dingy yellow

But his hair was silver gray

Across the aisle I saw a soldier

Looking scared, but sitting tall

He had the weathered face of a child

He was waiting for his call

He said. Look at us crying

Look at us now

We’re waiting for salvation

And the rain keeps on falling down

The preacher’s eyes burned with fire

And his trembling voice grew thin

When he laid his hands on the soldier

Said, Forgive us for our sins

And the woman sitting next to me

She was sobbing uncontrollably

When she looked up to the heaven

and fell down to her knees

She said. “Look at us crying

Look at us now

We’re waiting for salvation

And the rain keeps on falling down

And the preacher started shaking

when he looked into my eyes

He said, Jesus knows you’re suffering

Jesus sees you cry

I sat there very quietly

I didn’t know what to say

When I felt a hand on my shoulder

It was the man with the bad toupee

He said. Look at us crying

Look at us now

We’re waiting for salvation

And the rain keeps on falling down

Look at us crying

Look at us now

We’re waiting for salvation

And the rain keeps on falling down
