The Reasons Why You Brought Me Here - Live
I know I'd get an answer that I won't understand
If I ask that Your intentions be made clear
I know Your plans are greater and in that greater plan
Lie the reasons why You brought me here
My story would be different if it were only mine to write
There are secrets I would never volunteer
But secrets lose their power when they have no place to hide
Maybe that is why You brought me here
Ooh, all I see are the ruins
Yeah, as the smoke starts to clear
Ooh, I hope You know what you're doin'
'Cause You brought me here
It's a mess of my own making, this I won't deny
And though the consequences shake my heart with fear
If I was happy with the way things were, I'd give more of a fight
I guess I'm grateful that You brought me here
Ooh, all I see are the ruins
Yeah, as the smoke starts to clear
Ooh, I hope You know what You're doin'
'Cause You brought me here
And if it's hard to raise the white flag, it's even harder to believe
That surrendering is worth the sacrifice
And the very thing I always feared would be the death of me
Was a way to come alive
Now it hurts to be this broken, but it's bearable somehow
As the chance to prove I'm worthy disappears
I always heard You loved me, but I think I know it now
Is that the reason why You brought me here?
I guess I'm grateful that You brought me here
Oh, thank you
Thank you
If I ask that Your intentions be made clear
I know Your plans are greater and in that greater plan
Lie the reasons why You brought me here
My story would be different if it were only mine to write
There are secrets I would never volunteer
But secrets lose their power when they have no place to hide
Maybe that is why You brought me here
Ooh, all I see are the ruins
Yeah, as the smoke starts to clear
Ooh, I hope You know what you're doin'
'Cause You brought me here
It's a mess of my own making, this I won't deny
And though the consequences shake my heart with fear
If I was happy with the way things were, I'd give more of a fight

Oh, thank you
Thank you
