The Collingsworth Family's song 'That's Not the God I Know' contrasts a distant, indifferent deity with the personal, loving God of the Bible. The lyrics affirm that God is not remote or unmoved by human suffering but actively seeks out the lost, hears prayers, and stays faithful even when others leave. Drawing on the parable of the lost sheep, the song emphasizes God's relentless pursuit and intimate care for each individual. It offers reassurance that God is near, compassionate, and responsive to those who call on Him.

VERSE 1.

A nameless being high upon a throne,

with a kingdom and a crown all his own.

Unmoved by the sorrow that we bear,

that s not the God I know.


Unable to be touched by all the needs,

of those crying out to him down on their knees.

Not hearing or answering a prayer,

that s not the God I know.


CHORUS:

The One I know will go, to the darkest place to reach you

No matter how far, He'll come to where you are to meet you.

The One I know will stay when others go away and leave you

If you think that God is far away and cold, that s not the God I know.


VERSE 2.

Seeing me so lost without a hope,

He left the 99 safe in the fold

To search until he found and brought me home

Yes that s the God I know


He left the 99 safe in the fold

To search until he found and brought me home

Yes that s the God I know
