That’s Why We Don’t Love God

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
Oh, no

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 breathe
But as it draws us near
Still, it repels our stubborn souls

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 lovе God
I don't want my prayers to be
Some mеaningless litany, yeah

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

That's why
That's why we don't love God
Although our lips feign praise
Still, our hearts are far away
Hey, yeah, that's why
That's why we don't love God
When we're consumed with self
We can't love anybody else

Yeah, oh...

We say we need a little help
We need some new direction, yeah
Avoid the blessing like a curse
Ooh-ooh....
We're only lying to ourselves
What we need is resurrection
What we need is second birth
Oh...

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

Oh, no
We don't love God
