A question crossed my mind today
Could there have been a better way
For You, oh Lord, to wash my sins away
I heard You say, "My child,
There was nothing else to do
So I paid the highest price
Because I'm in love with you."
Chorus:
But what I don't understand
Is why You'd die for me
Why You'd give up Your life
On Calvary
Why would You make this sacrifice
For one who's so unfaithful?
What I don't understand is "why?"
I'm so unfaithful to You, Lord
So seldom trusting in Your Word
Can You forgive me as I've heard?
You answered, "Yes, my child."
I ask, "How can this be true?"
You reply with a gentle smile,
"Because I'm in love with you."
Chorus
I wonder what God can this be
That so much loved a wretch like me
That He gave His life upon that tree?
It was Jesus Christ that died that day
Showing love for me and you
And I can only think to say,
"Lord, I'm in love with you!"
Chorus
Closing
What I don't understand
What I'll never understand
Yeah, what I don't understand is "why?"
