Why Not Now, Why Not Me

MercyMe frames identity as a question worth actually asking in "Why Not Now, Why Not Me" — "so take a good look at yourself and say, why not now and why not me? What if I actually believe what Jesus, what He thinks of me?" The song treats belief about identity as something that has to be chosen, not assumed.

"Once you know who you are, that ceiling becomes your floor, so fly" reframes a limit as a foundation once the underlying belief actually shifts, and "'cause that changes everything" states plainly how much is riding on that one specific belief.

"So take another look at yourself and say" repeats the same instruction a second time rather than assuming it worked the first time, treating the question as something worth returning to more than once before it actually changes anything.
