How could a God, so divine
Ever see something in me
In all your ways, always pure
Tell me what did you see

You must have seen the dark within me
The evil deeds that I lived by
But yet you stay close by me
Oh Lord please tell me why.

Tell me why oh why
Did you suffer and die
For us all
(I just want to know)
Tell me why oh why
Don't you know all that I
Did to you

(Yet you still don't go)

Ya know where I've been, All too well
I can't hide if from you
please don't go away
need you to stay
It feels strange but it's true

I know that I'm not perfect
I know this but I'll try
I want to be more like you
But God please tell me why

Tell me why oh why
You have stolen all my
Heart away..
(How I don't know)
Tell me why oh why
It'll be tough but lets try
anyway
(Jesus I'm ready to go)

You came down to die
And now for you
So will I
Change me today
