"I Wonder Why" - from the album "The Season Of Love"
(Michael Tolf)
This song was born out of a sadness in heart, as I look out into the world. Events like 9-11, and others, that make me think...what would life be like without Christ, and why do so many people go through the motions of life, without him. I can only wonder why.
All the things I've heard
All the things I've seen
They make me buckle down and cry
Looking all around
Looking at this world
Who will keep our dreams alive
With the touch of heaven
The baby came
Sweet Hosanna we proclaim
Rocking Him so gently
How could we know
How far His love would go
I wonder why
Why so many people live their lives
Not knowing the truth that satisfies
Not knowing that love will never die
If I had one wish
If I had one plea
I'd pray - please help me see
Remove my mask
Take all my greed
Meet me here on bended knee
In this world of torment
World of pain
He bore my guilt, He bore my shame
Giving himself freely
To save us all
Will we hear His call
I wonder why
Why so many people live their lives
Not knowing the truth that satisfies
Not knowing that love will never die
I wonder why...
