VERSE 1:

                                          
I was walking through the counters of a national concern
                                          
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
                                         
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
                                           
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared


                                              
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak
                          
Into the paper bag at her side
                                                          
And her face was white with fear in case her actions
     
Were observed
                                               
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind


CHORUS:

                       
Crying God knows I'm good 
         
God knows I'm good 
             
God knows I'm good
                        
God may look the other way today


            
God knows I'm good
         
God knows I'm good
             
God knows I'm good
                        
God may look the other way today


VERSE 2:

                                              
Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
                                   
Perspiration trickled down her forehead         
                                                
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
                                     
She was led away bewildered and amazed


                                                              
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter
                                  
As her escort asked her softly for her name
                                                    
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
                                  
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor


CHORUS:

                       
Crying God knows I'm good 
         
God knows I'm good 
             
God knows I'm good
                           
Surely God won't look the other way


            
God knows I'm good
         
God knows I'm good
             
God knows I'm good
                           
Surely God won't look the other way
