Tell Me Why Lyrics

Why did You have to leave Your throne and come to sinful earth

Why were You the King of Kings yet You chose a humble birth

Why would You give up all You had and become a simple man

Why was part of God's own special plan

Tell me why you left the angels to walk among us all

Why You chose to heal the sick and why You chose to call

The people who did follow You a King for whom they sought

The reason was the hope and love You brought

O why? Tell me why? Why would You give up everything for me?

O why? Tell me why? You forgave my sin and love has set me free

Lord why did You choose a garden where the soldiers came for You

Why would You allow them the things they put You through

Why upon the cross You thought of me and every man

Was I a part of God's own special plan

Why? Tell me why? Why would You give up everything for me?

O why? Tell me why? You forgave my sin and love has set me free

Child my Father saw from Heaven's gates that man was in such need

It was He Who sent me to redeem the wicked seed

I chose to walk to Calvary where I stretched my arms for you

But greater things the world would see me do

For they laid my body in a tomb and thought it was complete

The story had not ended I had promises to keep

I'll tell you why I conquered death and rose on the third day

It was all a part of God's own special way

O why? You ask me why? I gave up everything for you to see

O why? Now you know why? I forgave your sin and love has set you free

O why? You ask me why? I gave up everything for you to see

O why? Now you know why? I forgave your sin and love has set you free

I forgave your sin and love has set you free
