Switchfoot - The Day That I Found God lyrics

The morning comes like an enemy soldier
I feel the weight across my shoulders
I feel the shadows getting colder
But that ain't You
This noose ain't getting any looser
I get so fearful about the future
I hear the shame of my accuser
But that ain't You

And I found strength
But it wasn't what I thought
And I found peace in the places I forgot
And I found riches ain't the
Things that I had bought yeah, I found out
The day I lost myself was the
Day that I found God

Yeah, I get caught chasing my own illusions
And I get so lost in these confusions
I keep on looking for my own solutions
But that ain't You that ain't You, no

And my enemies weren't the ones
That I had fought
And my liberties weren't the
Freedoms I had sought
And what I learned weren't the
Lessons I'd been taught yeah, I found out
The day I lost myself was the
Day that I found God

Where is God out in the darkness?
'Cause the voices in my
Head ain't talking honest
They're saying maybe You made
Us then forgot us but that ain't You
That ain't You, no

And all I know is that I
Still don't know a lot
I don't know how it ends
I'm in the middle of this plot
Yeah, and I found grace for the
Man that I am not
Yeah, and I found out the day I lost myself
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
Yeah, I found out
The day I lost myself was the
Day that I found God
