The Day That I Found God - Switchfoot

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

I found strength but it wasn’t what I thought

I found peace in the places I forgot

I found riches ain’t the things that I had bought

I found out

The day I lost myself was the day that I found God

I get caught chasing my own illusions

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

My enemies weren’t the ones I had fought

My liberties weren’t the freedoms I had sought

What I learned weren’t the lessons I’d been taught

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, 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
