new song: "questions and answers"

a hundred thousand times i seem to fall
with no one near to hear my call.
and with each new difficult circumstance
sometimes life stops making sense.

and often its so easy just to turn to You
and blame You for the pain You brought me through.

but who am i
to ask You why
the universe spins and circles 'round the sky?
for the world You made
the love You gave
and all the lives You saved
how could i ask You why?
who am i?

its too easy to forget just how great You are
especially when You feel so far:
in the beginning You created life
with just three words: "let there be light."

and even as a human baby, You had kings
fall before Your feet with offerings.

who am i
to ask You why
the universe spins and circles 'round the sky?
for the world You made
the love You gave
and all the lives You saved,
how could i
ask You why?
who am i...

...to question the maker of all things
and everything each day He brings?
because He defined what love is
and shows us every day exactly what it means.

who am i
to ask You why
the universe spins and circles 'round the sky?
for the world You made,
the love You gave,
and all the lives You saved:
how could i ask You why?
who am i?



... moral of new song: i feel like its easy to blame God for our problems. but if you really think about it, He has given us everything we know. we take way too much for granted.
