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, no, 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 breath, 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 love God,
I don't want my prayers to be some meaningless 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, our hearts are far away, 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,
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.

Another classic Phil Keaggy album where it’s hard to pick just one favorite song. Too many good ones. Sounds, Movie, and Riverton are the backbone however and are must hears. Craig Opal
