Why
Written by Bethany Dillon and Joshua Moore

This house is echoing
With the sound of You knocking at the door
But with three locks
And the shades down
You are easy to ignore
I put You on like an old pair of shoes
I’ve put You off, but now I need You

Why, this love that never leaves me
Why are You holding me tonight
Can’t deny this love that is given me
Why, this love will never leave

You’re a good strategy when I need one
An angle when there is none
Like a doormat
That always says welcome
No matter how much dirt I rub on
But when I am tired and run through
Look over this hill, I’m running to You

i love this song! it echoes how i often feel...... my relationship with God is too comfortable all too often..... like old shoes. got a pair of those? it's the shoes that, although they are really really tired and should be retired, you are so comfortable with them that you refuse to toss them. they are old and worn, and probably not too good for your feet anymore, but you can't help loving them. my relationship with God is like that oftentimes..... i am so comfortable with the 'level' that i am at with Him now. of course it would be so much better for me to give it up and let Him take me to the next level, but it's so darn comfortable isn't it? i can hear His voice calling me to Him, to give up one more piece of myself to Him. He's a gentleman though (as PJ would say...); His voice is always always gentle. and it's so easy to ignore. it baffles me how He can be so unfailingly faithful and patient with me......

Father i don't understand your faithfulness.... but thank you thank you for it.
