"The Day That I Found God" lyrics - SWITCHFOOT

The morning comes like an enemy soldier
I feel the weight across my shoulders
I feel the shadows getting colder
That ain't You

This noose ain't getting any looser
I get so fearful 'bout the future
I hear the same 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

I get caught chasing my own illusions
And I get so lost in these confusions
I keep 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
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, I found grace
In 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
