Why did this happen to me

Verse 1

I had a ball and a beat-up dream

Late nights in an empty gym

When life got loud, when home got hard

That court was where I hid my heart

Second year, everything felt right

Till my body gave up in a fight

Hospital room, doctor said

I shouldn’t be here, but here I am

Pre-Chorus

I’m thankful, but I’m breaking

Still breathing, still shaking

Chorus

Why did this have to happen to me, Lord?

You took my dream, it was my escape

I ran to it when life got heavy

Now I’m standing here face to face

You saved my life, and I know that’s grace

But I don’t understand Your ways

If You’re still holding on to me

Why did this have to happen to me?

Verse 2

Everyone says, “Be grateful now”

But they don’t hear the prayers I shout

I lost more than a game that day

I lost the place I ran away

I don’t doubt You’re good and kind

I just don’t see the bigger plan

If You hear me, help me know

I’m not alone in this

Pre-Chorus

I’m alive, but I’m hurting

Trying to trust what You’re working

Chorus

Why did this have to happen to me, Lord?

You took my dream, it was my escape

I ran to it when life got heavy

Now I’m standing here face to face

You saved my life, and I know that’s grace

But I don’t understand Your ways

If You’re still holding on to me

Why did this have to happen to me?

Bridge

Maybe You’re breaking what I leaned on

So I’d finally lean on You

Maybe You saw what I couldn’t

And You’re making all things new

Bridge (lift)

If I lost the thing I ran to

So I’d learn to run to You

Then I’ll trust You with the pain

And the life You pulled me through

Final Chorus

Maybe this had to happen to me, Lord

To show me You’re enough for me

You took my dream, my escape

But You stayed right here with me

You saved my life, You held my heart

When everything fell apart

If I’m still breathing, still believe

Then You’re not done with me

Outro

I don’t need every answer yet

I just need You with every step

I’m still here…

So You’re not done with me
