Austin French's song 'Why God' wrestles with the pain of loss, broken relationships, and loneliness, asking God why suffering happens. The lyrics express confusion and hurt but ultimately affirm trust in God's presence and love. The chorus declares running to God's arms and clinging to His love, finding comfort that He is always by our side. The bridge asks for a stronger faith to endure heartbreak. The song connects to the biblical theme of lament and trust in God's sovereignty, similar to the Psalms. It offers hope to those struggling with unanswered questions and pain.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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

It?s 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
