Randy Stonehill Album: The Lazarus Heart Track: That's Why We Don't Love God That's Why We Don't Love God Lyrics Randy 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 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 STONEHILLIAN MUSIC/ASCAP
