Now I Get Why

[Verse 1]
Used to drive past that old church
Windows down
But my faith shut tight
Asking
"Why'd You let me break like that?
Why'd You walk me through that night?"
Sat alone at the red light
Hands on the wheel
Heart in the ditch
Thought love was just a cruel joke
Some lesson I was too broke to fix
[Chorus]
But now I get why You let me fall
Why You watched me crawl through the dark that long
You were clearing out the hurt
Making room for you
Every sleepless prayer
Every tear I cried
Led me right here to your green eyes
You gave the light back to my life
And now I get why
Yeah
Now I get why
[Verse 2]
You laughed at my worst joke
Spilled coffee on your brand-new shoes
Said
"I've been through some heavy storms"
I said
"Yeah
I’ve got my damage too"
But your hand fit mine so easy
Like it always knew the way
All the miles that broke me open
Brought me to your driveway
[Chorus]
Now I get why You let me fall
Why You watched me crawl through the dark that long
You were clearing out the hurt
Making room for you
Every sleepless prayer
Every tear I cried
Led me right here to your green eyes
You gave the light back to my life
And now I get why
Yeah
Now I get why
[Bridge]
If I had skipped the heartbreak
If I had missed that road of pain
I’d have been the wrong man
Standing in this place today
So I thank You for the breaking
For the cracks where this love shines through
‘Cause all that I was asking for
Was always meant to be you (oh)
[Chorus]
Now I get why You let me fall
Why You watched me crawl through the dark that long
You were clearing out the hurt
Making room for you
Every sleepless prayer
Every tear I cried
Led me right here to your green eyes
You mean the whole wide world to me
You gave the light back to my life
And now I get why
Yeah
Now I get why
