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, 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
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
Oh, no
We don't love God

Leaning into the sparse, impressionistic sound of 2023's albu "Nature Morte," the Montreal metallurgists sound as heavy and radiant as ever. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024

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
