Lyrics

Why God do people have to die
A daughter or a son
Sudden and so young
Long before their time
Why God do people fall apart
A promise and a ring
Becomes a broken thing
A road that got too hard

I don’t understand
But I understand

CHORUS
Why God I need You
It’s why God I run to Your arms
Over and over again
It’s why God I cling to
Your love and hold on for dear life
And I find
You are right
By my side

Why God do we feel so alone
Every single day
Fighting through the pain
Hoping there is hope

I don’t understand
But I understand

CHORUS

Give me a faith stronger than I have
I need to know when it hurts this bad
That You hold my heart when it breaks
And I’m not alone in this pain

CHORUS

Always right by side
Even here in the why God
