Why
This world, it makes me wonder
Why is it considered immature
For a person to want to keep their innocence?
Why is it considered unmanly...
To love the Maker of mankind?
I wonder why people think they have to pay a cost
When the Lord worked so hard to pay it for them
Why people think that God will take their freedom
When sin's already taken it away
And I wonder why...
People don't realize all the love
They're missing out on.
My God is a glorious God,
Merciful and kind,
Who loves us even though we've done such terrible things
Even though we've torn apart His gifts
Disrespected the temples He gave us
And refused to return the love He offers.
Why don't people realize
That loving God, heart, mind, and soul
Feels better than "independence" could ever feel?
My tears fall to the ground
As their words stream against
The One I love more than anything and anyone
The One who makes me feel so good inside
Who will never abandon me, never abandon
Those who love Him.
I wonder why they don't understand...
How much more their words hurt God
Than they hurt the "immature" one
Who's kneeling on the ground and weeping.
