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.
