Lyrics

THINGS THAT I CAN'T SEE
(Patrick Jason Matthews & Ben Hayslip)


Some say there's no such thing
As Heaven up above but I know better
They say God don't exist, there's no evidence
At least not the kind the human mind can measure
But, buddy, I've been on the bottom, too far gone to get back up
And God touched me through that woman with His healing hand of love

I don't have to see it, I don't need a burning bush
To know that Jesus is coming back
Just the way they said he would
'Cause this morning she still loved me and that's all the proof I need
To keep right on believing in things that I can't see

I don't know much about science and such
But I know that I was saved the day she found me
And there ain't no way I couldn't have faith
When she smiles that smile and wraps her arms around me
I ain't never met my maker or felt the brush of angle wings
And I ain't seen hell but I know full well without her that's where I'd be

I don't have to see it, I don't need a burning bush
To know that Jesus is coming back
Just the way they said he would
'Cause this morning she still loved me and that's all the proof I need
To keep right on believing in things that I can't see

When I hold her paradise is real
I know it like I know my name by the way it makes me feel

I don't have to see it, I don't need a burning bush
To know that Jesus is coming back
Just the way they said he would
'Cause this morning she still loved me and that's all the proof I need
To keep right on believing in things that I can't see

Jason Matthews was born in Harrell's Store, North Carolina. At fifteen he saw Eric Clapton on television and became obsessed with writing songs. 

His first industry fan, WRFX DJ Macon in Charlotte, gave Matthews' demo to legendary musical comedy team Pinkard and Bowden, who subsequently invited Matthews to be their roadie and in-house writer. After a year on the road, he settled in Nashville to pursue his dream of becoming a hit songwriter. 

In 2006, he landed his first Number One with Billy Currington's version of his song, “Must Be Doin' Something Right.” This earned him the coveted Music Row Magazine Breakthrough Writer Of The Year award and several ASCAP awards. 

In 2008, Jason released the critically acclaimed album called "Hicotine" and the single "That's What Mamas Do". 

Jason is an artist with Valhalla Music Group.
