Lyrics

I DON'T KNOW WHY ---- I KNOW WHO
(Based on Sandy Hook, CT tragedy and Ann Voskamp blog 12/19/2012)

VERSE 1
I don't know if legs can hold this heavy heart of mine
Or if I have the strength to bend my knees this time
I don't know if I'll ever know, or if my faith can stand not knowing why

I don't know if I can go on living out each day
Or if I can even lift my voice, or bow my head to pray
I don't know if I'll ever know, or ever understand the reasons why

CHORUS
And so I fall into, not the arms of why but who
And I weep in Your Embrace
I can barely stand, as you offer me your hand
My weakness for Your Grace

VERSE 2
I don't know if eyes can take this flood of tears I cry
Or if I still believe, in the one who came to die
I don't know if I'll ever know, or if my faith can stand not knowing why

I don't know if you can make this trembling go away
Or if love can ever change the hatred of today
I don't know if we'll ever know, or if our minds will always question why

BRIDGE
You become my legs, you are my voice of praise
Your suffering paid for me
So I boldly sing, You are my King of Kings
You are my Prince of Peace

TAG/END
I don't know how I could doubt the life you came to give
The love that suffered on the cross, it gives me hope to live
I don't know if I'll ever know, or ever understand the reasons why (2x)
But I know WHO, I know WHO, I know YOU
