[Verse 1]

God, I wanna find you in all of the needles that have killed potential lives

And I wanna find You in all of the men that left their children and their wives

Well, I wanna find You in every lung and liver that from addiction have died

Oh God, I wanna find You in every situation that asks the question "Why?"


[Chorus]

Well, I don’t know why we are here

If we can’t wipe away the tears

Of all the broken hearts that cry

And I don’t know what I can do

To point these lost souls back to You

But God, I trust You in the why


[Verse 2]

God, I wanna find You in all the cut up wrists of teens who shouldn’t have a knife

And I wanna find You in all of the sheets where the prostitutes have laid

Well, I wanna find You in all of the bullets found in suicidal lives

God, I wanna find You in every situation that asks the question "Why?"


[Chorus]

Well, I don’t know why we are here

If we can’t wipe away the tears

Of all the broken hearts that cry

And I don’t know what I can do

To point these lost souls back to You

But God, I trust You in the why


[Bridge]

But I know that what we thought we destroyed You still restored

Yes, what we thought we destroyed You still restored

Well, what we thought we destroyed You still restored

Yes, what we thought we destroyed You still restored


[Chorus]

Well, I don’t know why we are here

If we can’t wipe away the tears

Of all the broken hearts that cry (Ooh)

And I don’t know what I can do

To point these lost souls back to You

But God, I trust You in the why
