You Don't Know Me

You don't know me

You don't understand

You don't know me

Just what kind of man

If you love me

Just take my hand

I will help you to understand

I may look the same

Carry the same old name

But a change has come

To make me someone new

I may look the part

But it wasn't from my heart

Quit livin' that lie

When I met Jesus face to face

You don't know me

You don't understand

You don't know me

Just what kind of man

If you love me

Just take my hand

I will help you to understand

I may wear the same old clothes

Lookin' like I haven't been told

I can see Jesus Christ

Right through this veil of tears

You don't know my heart

I'm talkin' about the sacred part

It gets a little better

And better and better

All through the years

You don't know me

You don't understand

You don't know me

Just what kind of man

If you love me

Just take my hand

I will help you to understand

This thing started a long time ago

I'm talkin' back in the Bible days

People thinking they know you

And living a live

And dealing in contrary ways

Don't let it stop your stuff

You gotta be tough

These things will soon come to pass

Keep your head in the sky

You can get by

And come out the victor at last

You don't know me

You don't understand

You don't know me

Just what kind of man

If you love me

Just take my hand

I will help you to understand
