VERSE

She was born on the wrong side of the railroad tracks when she ran away

She never looked back she never looked back

Now she finds her home on the LA streets

She's not looking for a handout she wants to be seen

Come in close close enough to  see her pain

Remember the words of another one suffering (God is Here)

Come in close closer this time

If you want to see Jesus  look into her eyes- look into her eyes

CHORUS

Hey - God is here

Hey- God is here

VERSE

See the city where she lives in these  dirty places

See the beggars the whores and and the homeless faces

God is here

See the children who are sleeping and the woman who is drunk

And the man with the sign that says he's down on his luck

God is here

See the man with the sign give another his blanket

If you didn't look close you wouldn't think it but

God is here

Come in close closer this time

See the miracle of laughter the miracle of life

The miracle of life

CHORUS

Hey God is here Hey God is here

BRIDGE

Here in the places we call hopeless  (in the darkest places)

You call this your kingdom (you call us your people)

You call it beautiful (You call us your own)

Here out of the ashes

You build cities of hope

Cities of hope  (hey)(Repeat with choir coming in almost a wailing)

TAG

He says this is my home and these are my children

You want to know me you've got to know (see)  them
