That's Why We Don't Love God
Unveiling the Heart's Struggle: That's Why We Don't Love God
Lyrics
That's why, that's why we don't love God
Expressing a reason for not loving God
Although our lips feign praise, still our hearts are far away
Despite outwardly praising, our hearts are distant
That's why, that's why we don't love God
Reiteration of the reason for not loving God
We're so consumed with self we can't love anybody else
Self-centeredness prevents love for others
No, no
Reinforcing the negative statement
We mask the nakedness of our mortality,
Concealing human vulnerability with pride
Cloaked in this poison pride and the illusion of control
Pride and illusion hinder acknowledging mortality
We need the gift of grace more than the air we breath
Emphasizing the need for grace over essentials
But as it draws us near, still it repels our stubborn souls.
Despite grace drawing near, stubborn souls resist
That's why, that's why we don't love God,
Reiteration of the reason for not loving God
Oh yes, our lips feign praise, but our hearts are far away
Similar to line 2, lips praise but hearts are distant
That's why, that's why we don't love God
Repetition of the reason for not loving God
I don't want my prayers to be some meaningless litany
Desire for prayers to be meaningful, not mere words
Yeah
Reinforcing the desire for genuine prayers
Why are we so afraid, guarded and counterfeit?
Questioning the fear, guardedness, and inauthenticity
Is it because we know all the shadows we conceal?
Suspecting concealment of personal shortcomings
And we are so alonewolves in the winter snow
Feeling alone, unaware of the potential for mercy
Never imagining that this mercy could be real
Realization of the possible reality of mercy
That's why, that's why we don't love God
Reiteration of the reason for not loving God
Although our lips feign praise, still our hearts are far away
Similar to line 2, lips praise but hearts are distant
That's why, that's why we don't love God
Repetition of the reason for not loving God
We're so consumed with self we can't love anybody else
Self-centeredness prevents love for others
Yeah
Expression of acknowledgment or emphasis
Oh
Expressing emotion or reflection
We say, ""We need a little help we need some new direction,""
Acknowledging the need for help and direction
Yeah, avoid the blessing like a curse,
Avoiding blessings due to perceived curses
We're only lying to ourselveswhat we need is resurrection
Self-deception about needing resurrection
What we need is second birth
Emphasizing the need for a spiritual rebirth
That's why, that's why we don't love,
Repetition of the reason for not loving
That's why, that's why we don't love,
Repetition for emphasis
That's why, that's why we don't love,
-That's why, that's why we don't love God
Repetition of the reason for not loving God
Oh, no
Reiteration of the negative statement
We don't love God
Final affirmation of not loving God
