The Why

Why you ask me

why I move the way I move?

Crawled out the water

From the chaos — from the tomb

Mind shattered, He gathered

All the pieces of my gloom

Told me, “Child, don’t you know

I been waitin’ on you?”

Yeah…

He formed me from the depths

Where the black waves crash

Gave breath to the lungs

I thought would never come back

How could I not chase the One

Who pulled me from the ash?

He made you too —

Even when you turn your back

He still waits…

At the door of your heart like:

“Open up, I’ll stay.”

Every tear you drown in

He been holdin’ anyway

Every whispered prayer

That you never even say

He been patient —

Silent —

Listenin’ every day

That’s why I speak His name

Why I move the way I move

Tryna introduce you

To the One that pulled me through

He’s the Lamb that was slain

Lion with the mane

Wisdom in the wind

Blood that breaks chains

He’s the well that don’t dry

The sight for the blind

Fixes broken hearts

Puts strength in the spine

Feeds the ones starved

Wakes the dead in the mind

Gives words to the mute

Takes darkness, makes light

If you sinkin’ in pain

Call His name — let it ring

If you walkin’ toward hell

And you feel that heat sting

Stretch out your hand

Don’t matter how far you been

Just breathe out His name…

Watch the whole world shift again

Jesus.
