Randy Stonehill - That's Why We Don't Love God lyrics

Artist: Randy Stonehill

album: The Lazarus Heart (Collector's Edition)


That's why
That's why
We don't love God
Although our lips feign praise
Still our hearts are far away
That's why
That's why
We don't love God
We're so consumed with self
We can't love anybody else
No, no
We mask the nakedness
Of our mortality, cloaked in this
Poison pride and the illusion of control
We need the gift of grace
More than the air we breath
But as it draws us near
Still it repels our stubborn souls
That's why
That's why
We don't love God
Oh yes, our lips feign praise
But our hearts are far away
That's why
That's why
We don't love God
I don't want my prayers to be
Some meaningless litany, yeah
Why are we so afraid, guarded
And counterfeit?
Is i t because we know
All the shadows we conceal?
And we are so alone
Wolves in the winter snow
Never imagining
That this mercy could be real
That's why
That's why
We don't love God
Although our lips feign praise
Our hearts are far away, yeah
That's why
That's why
We don't love God
When we're consumed with self
We can't love anybody else
Yeah, oh
We say, "We need a little help
We need some new direction"
Yeah, avoid the blessing like a curse
We're only lying to ourselves
What we need is resurrection
What we need is second birth
That's why
That's why we don't love
That's why
That's why we don't love
That's why
That's why we don't love
That's why
That's why we don't love God
Oh, no
We don't love God
