Lyrics
I've been restless when I'm resting
I just question all the questions
I really sensed it still they crept in
God I ask you why
God I ask you
God I ask you
God I ask you
God I ask you why
I don't understand
I can't take my stand
Life conquered my land
Ruined all my plans
I said I'm the man
Then the war began
Took me down then I ran
I am on an island with no sand
Stuck in a cycle like a fan
I feel like I don't have a chance
leaving the fire. Off the pan.
This pain shows don't need a scan
It infects and then expands
I think I'll cut off my hand
Cause this sin got out of hand
Sin holds me back
But God took it and put a cross on his back
He lived out forgiveness and died just for that
He was punished and tortured for the way that we act
God you love me, but I won't see
that you're for me, and you hold me
when I'm lonely when they broke me
God you ask me why
God you ask me
God you ask me
God you ask me
God you ask me why
Why do I turn from you?
Why do I sit here in sin? Why am I hurting you?
Why can I never begin to stop returning to?
The very thing that put you on that cross when we deserted you
I don't even know why
I just know that my soul gets so tired
Can't let my flesh win when they go fight
I try to kill it but it won't die
In the battle God just feels so high
But Jesus came down and he broke lies
So I gotta realize where my Hope lies
He's alive in me it's not my own life
I exist to give him glory
Yeah that's gon be my story
Cause my life isn't for me
I'm in his inventory
Cause this life is transitory
Breathing life that's respiratory
Give the message auditory
Taking Satan's territory
The power to change is in me
Can't let the chains tempt me
The money, the fame, the girls all the same they all got you feeling so empty
But Jesus got more he got plenty
He's always right here to protect me
When I go to fear and my sin is severe he still waits there for me and accepts me
I don't deserve your love
That rains down from above
You always fill my cup
You always pick me up
When I can't walk your my crutch
then you heal me with your touch
God I ask you... why
Thank you for your grace
Thank you for you mercy God when I'm lacking faith
Thank you that you love me God when all I do is hate
Thank you for your patience God when I run away
