Chad Neth - "I Wonder Why"
Lyrics © 2006 Jeff Harmon
I wonder why He cried the day Lazarus died
He knew he'd be raised from the dead
And yet a tear He still shed
Mary and Martha, their hearts were breaking
He cried for them because their souls were aching
And I wonder why... And I wonder why
In the silence of Gethsemane
He bled for you, He bled for me
A love so sweet, a love so pure
A love that will forever endure
The one constant throughout your life
No matter what struggles, no matter what strife
Let His love in, let His love flow
Many times I've let Him down
And still He wore the thistled crown
His love for me I can't deny
And I wonder why
Chorus
A weak and lowly man am I
All my thoughts He surely knows
His arms stretched out I see the marks
And I'm learning why
Chorus
Music by: Chad Neth and Joseph Fifield
Piano: Brian Jensen
Cello: Steve Nelson
Note: Chad Neth wrote the melody for this song, then later worked with Joseph Fifield to write the music. Joseph died in a hiking accident the week before he was going to record the song in the studio (Wednesday, February 2, 2006). Brian Jensen played almost the same arrangement that Joseph would have played. Our hearts go out to the Fifield family. Your son, brother, cousin, uncle, etc... was an amazing, talented person.
