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.
