Why, why…

A child cries behind a locked door
No one helps, they look away
Crowds scroll past the broken ones
Like mercy is too much to pay
(So much pain)
And in the noise of every lie
My voice cracks as I cry

Why Jesus, tell me why?
Why Jesus, tell me why?
When the world keeps burning slow
And I don’t know where hope can go
Why Jesus, tell me why?
Why Jesus, tell me why?

A lonely dog tied in the rain
Eyes pleading under rusted chains
Men laugh while hurting what is small
Like cruelty is just a game
(Why… why…)
I see it all and lose my breath
Faith trembles in my chest

Why Jesus, tell me why?
Why Jesus, tell me why?
When the world keeps burning slow
And I don’t know where hope can go
Why Jesus, tell me why?
Why Jesus, tell me why?

It’s too much…

Someone falls on a crowded street
People step around their pain
Another war begins again
And children learn the sound of flames
I look at all this endless ache
My faith begins to shake

Why Jesus, tell me why?
Why Jesus, tell me why?
When the world keeps burning slow
And I don’t know where hope can go
Why Jesus, tell me why?
Why Jesus, tell me why?

Are You watching?

Can You hear me?

Why Jesus, tell me why?
Why Jesus, tell me why?
When the world keeps burning slow
And I don’t know where hope can go
Why Jesus, tell me why?
Why Jesus, tell me why?

My child, this world carries many broken places
Many wounds, many shadows
But lift your eyes a little higher
And you will see the ones who heal
The ones who give
The ones who love without end
There are far more of them
Than the darkness wants you to believe
Wherever goodness grows
Wherever kindness rises
My kingdom is alive
And those who spread the light
They are many
Many more than you think
Be part of them my child, join us
