Previously unheard version, basically a combination of the versions from the albums Rough Street Love Letter (first half) and Home At Last (second half)

lyrics

​Every time I see you, you know I start to cry
I know what you’re doing and that you’re living a lie
And Jesus keeps calling outside your door
But you don’t love him like before
And you don’t listen anymore

You speak of compassion but you don’t really care
You can talk of heaven but are you going there
God’s trying to touch you but you’re out of reach
And you don’t practice what you preach
I know the shadows you seek, I know the places you're weak

Down you go
And you’re looking so much older
Down you go
And your spirit’s getting colder
So get the weight off your shoulder
Ooh

You seek after fortune and you live for yourself, oh oh-oh
You stand in the spotlight and leave God on the shelf
You smile, you gesture, each hair is in place
But I can see behind your face, the sorrow you can’t erase

Woh ho oh oh
Oh ho ho oh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
