Elevation Worship's song 'Why' reflects on the mystery of God's unconditional love. The lyrics express awe that God's love persists even when the singer turns away, curses, or breaks God's heart. The song contrasts God's love with worldly treasures like silver and gold, and acknowledges that real joy and blessings don't always come as expected. It emphasizes that God's love is most present in difficult times, not when everything is perfect. The repeated refrain 'I'll never know' captures the wonder of undeserved, steadfast love.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
What can I say of Your love that has not already been said
Were I to tell all the things that You've done I would run out of breath
So many songs have been sung
But how could I praise You enough
So here's another one
Why
You love me like You love me
I'll never know
Why
You love me like You love me
Your love is
Better than silver
Better than gold
Better than anything I've ever known
I'll never know
Why
You love me like You love me
I'll never know
Oh
Oh I'll never know
Ooh
Real joy doesn't always feel like laughter, no
And blessings don't always come from the places I thought they would
And Your love doesn't look anything like it does in Hollywood
You don't walk out when it's over
That's when I need You the most
Lord I'll never know
Why
You love me like You love me
I'll never know
Why
You love me like You love me
Your love is
Better than silver
Better than gold
Better than anything I've ever known
I'll never know
Why
You love me like You love me
I'llnever know
Why
Why
Why
You love me like You love me
I'll never know
Why
Why
Why
You love me like You love
I'll never know
Even when I turn my back
You love me
Even when I curse Your name
You love me
Even when I broke Your heart
You love me
You love me
You love me
And when I make my bed in hell
You love me
When I don't even love myself
You love me
You're not the kind to cut and run
You love me
You love me (Ooh)
You love me
Why
You love me like You love me
I'll never know
Why
You love me like You love me
Your love is
Better than silver
Better than gold
Better than anything I've ever known
I'll never know
Why
You love me like You love me
I'll never know
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I'll never know
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
