Lyrics

Dirty and Filthy I was unclean
Arrogant and angry nasty and mean
Wretched dishonest chock full of pride
And thatâ??s just what you saw
Looking From the outside

He was looking on the inside of my outside
that wasnâ??t looking so good
He was looking at me
the way that nobody else ever could
He was looking on the inside
and of what I might be
He was looking past the outside
He was looking for me
He was looking out for me

Heâ??s looking on the inside
Heâ??s looking deep within
Heâ??s looking past my outside
He sees right through my skin
Heâ??s working on my inside
He knows where Iâ??ve been
Heâ?? ignoring my outside
Heâ??s forgiving my sin

Behind the anger there was hurt
There was pain
Filthy talking covered up a dark stain
Behind my pride I was trying to hide
I thank the lord he looked deep down inside

He saw a weakness
He saw a need
He saw the hunger
Only his love could feed
He saw a broken child
lost without a trace
He looked inside right past
that scowl on my face

There was no way in this world
That I could I clean myself up
There was nothing I could do
That would be good enough
I tried it before just put on a big grin
Thought it my duty to atone for my own sin

Still My outside was phony
my inside just a sham
He kept looking at my inside
and He still loves me as I am
That fact alone is what drew me to his side
He is looking on the inside of my ugly outside

Heâ??s looking on the inside
Heâ??s looking deep within
Heâ??s looking past my outside
He sees right through my skin
Heâ??s working on my inside
He knows where Iâ??ve been
Heâ?? ignoring my outside
Heâ??s forgiving my sin
Heâ??s forgiving my sin
Heâ??s forgiving my sin
