Cântăre Thats why we dont love god

That's Why We Don't Love God



R. Stonehill



chorus

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



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



chorus

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



Why are we so afraid, guarded and counterfeit

Is it 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



chorus



bridge

We say we need a little help

We need some new direction

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
