[Verse ]
Father, I have questions
And I wonder if that's okay
Answers may not help but
May I ask You anyway
[Verse 2]
Father, why all the violence?
You're sovereign, can't You make it stop?
And why are brothers betraying mothers
And sisters being bought
[Chorus]
I accept I may not get all the answers
'Cause I know that there's more than what I see
But how I beg You to explain what You're doing
On this side of eternity, on this side of eternity
[Verse 3]
Father, why is there famine
While others have their feast?
And how does death choose who's taken early
And who's left behind to grieve
[Chorus]
I accept I may not get all the answers
'Cause I know that there's more than what I see
But how I beg You to explain what You're doing
On this side of eternity, on this side of eternity
[Bridge]
I will keep asking 'til my dying day
'Cause maybe it's the asking that You want from me
And maybe this confusion is a hidden grace
'Cause maybe You know I can't bear the answer's weight
Oh, I know that I can't bear the answer's weight
[Chorus]
So I accept I may not get all the answers
'Cause I know that there's more than what I see
Hm but how I beg You to explain what You're doing
On this side of eternity, on this side of eternity
Hm-hmm, on this side of eternity
