[Verse 1]
I set the dawn in place
I painted every sky
I wrote My name in seasons
Still you look away and ask Me why
I send you seed and soil
I send you rain and breath
I leave My fingerprints in wonder
But you call it chance instead
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do you keep refusing?
Why do you close your eyes?
I speak in the ordinary
I keep drawing you near tonight
[Chorus]
Why do you keep asking?
Why do you keep asking Me?
I have been here, always
Right where the signs can be
Why do you keep asking?
Why do you keep asking Me?
Open your hands, My child
And you will finally see
[Verse 2]
I sent you mercy early
I sent you truth in tears
I held you when you were trembling
And I stayed through all your fears
You say, "God, if You are listening"
But I am close as breath
I answer in the faithful
I answer in the almost left
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do you keep refusing?
Why do you close your eyes?
I speak in the ordinary
I keep drawing you near tonight
[Chorus]
Why do you keep asking?
Why do you keep asking Me?
I have been here, always
Right where the signs can be
Why do you keep asking?
Why do you keep asking Me?
Open your hands, My child
And you will finally see
[Bridge]
I am not hiding from you
I am calling you by name
In the ache, in the wonder
I am still the same
Come and see the way I move
In the lonely and the bloom
I was never far away
I was reaching out to you
[Final Chorus]
Why do you keep asking?
Why do you keep asking Me?
I have been here, always
Right where the signs can be
Why do you keep asking?
Why do you keep asking Me?
Open your hands, My child
And you will finally see
You will finally see
You will finally see
Why do you keep asking?
Why do you keep asking Me?
