Why

Verse 1

Why is there so much chaos in this world

Why is there so much suffering

Why are so many hearts just lost and torn

Still searching for a way to believe

Why do the nights feel so long and cold

When the tears won’t let me sleep

Why do I carry this heavy load

Down on my knees, asking You please

Pre-Chorus

Jesus, I know, I know You are there

Even when heaven feels so far

I’m reaching out through every doubt

With a broken, beating heart

Chorus

So I ask You why, but I still trust

When I don’t understand

You’re holding every shattered piece

Inside Your loving hands

Even when the answers don’t come

And the dark won’t let me see

I’ll keep crying out Your name

‘Cause You never let go of me

Verse 2

Why do the good ones hurt the most

Why do the strong ones fall

Why does this world feel so unfair

Like nobody hears us call

I see the pain in every face

On every crowded street

But somehow in the middle of it all

Your mercy still finds me

Pre-Chorus

Jesus, I know, I know You are near

Even when my faith feels weak

You’re whispering hope into my soul

When I can barely speak

Chorus

So I ask You why, but I still trust

When I don’t understand

You’re holding every shattered piece

Inside Your loving hands

Even when the answers don’t come

And the dark won’t let me see

I’ll keep crying out Your name

‘Cause You never let go of me

Bridge

Maybe the why is not for now

Maybe it’s just for You

But I believe You’re working good

In everything we’re going through

From every tear to every scar

You’re making something new

So I’ll hold on with all I am

And keep my eyes on You

Final Chorus

I don’t know why this world still breaks

And hearts still fall apart

But I know You are faithful

And You’re holding my heart

So even when I’m questioning

And my faith feels small

I’ll still trust You, Jesus

Through it all

Outro

So I’ll keep asking why…

But I’ll keep following You.
