This week’s featured song story comes to us from Austin French. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Why God.”
“Why God do people have to die? Why does tragedy still have a place in the life of a Christian? Why another school shooting? God why? Are you even here? Are you with us? These are real questions that inspired my song ‘Why God’ on my upcoming record.I believe that our God is a good father and we are his kids and He’s not scared of our questions. In those moments there’s tons of things in this life that we do not understand, but maybe we’re not supposed to. Maybe we’re supposed to need God, need a father who knows all things and holds all things in his hands. And that’s ok.” – Austin French

“Why God” Lyrics
Why God do people have to die
A daughter or a son
Sudden and so young
Long before their time
Why God do people fall apart
A promise and a ring
Becomes a broken thing
A road that got too hard
I don’t understand
But I understand
CHORUS
Why God I need you
It’s why God I run to your arms
Over and over again
ITS why God I cling to
Your love and hold on for dear life
And I find
You are right
By my side
Why God do we feel so alone
Every single day
Fighting through the pain
Hoping there is hope
I don’t understand
But I understand
CHORUS
Give me a faith stronger than I have
I need to know when it hurts this bad
That you hold my heart when it breaks
And I’m not alone in this pain
CHORUS
Always right by side
Even here in the why God
