Why
Why do the wicked seem to sprout and flourish
As justice falls from our sight?
Ungodly schemers walk about so freely
To frustrate all that's good and holy
Sometimes it looks like they're gettin' off scot free
That doesn't seem right to me
When evil struts without reservation
It's time to have this conversation
Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God
He's the only one with perfect goodness and control
So put your hope in God, alone, O my soul
How long, O Lord will You stay silent?
Or maybe I've just become
The man with scales that block my vision,
Whose ears and passions are numb
Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God
He's the only one with perfect goodness and control
So put your hope in God, alone, O my soul
When foolishness has its way
Lord remind me there is coming a day
When my foolishness has its way
Lord remind me there is coming a day
Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God
He's the only one with perfect goodness and control
So put your hope in God, alone, O my soul
As justice falls from our sight?
Ungodly schemers walk about so freely
To frustrate all that's good and holy
Sometimes it looks like they're gettin' off scot free
That doesn't seem right to me
When evil struts without reservation
It's time to have this conversation
Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God
He's the only one with perfect goodness and control
So put your hope in God, alone, O my soul
How long, O Lord will You stay silent?
Or maybe I've just become
The man with scales that block my vision,
Whose ears and passions are numb
Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God
He's the only one with perfect goodness and control
So put your hope in God, alone, O my soul
When foolishness has its way
Lord remind me there is coming a day
When my foolishness has its way
Lord remind me there is coming a day
Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God
He's the only one with perfect goodness and control
So put your hope in God, alone, O my soul
