Give Me A Reason
Third Day's 'Give Me a Reason' is a reflective rock song that grapples with human brokenness and the struggle to understand why we make poor choices. The narrator questions his own motives and acknowledges that something is fundamentally wrong with everyone, recognizing that only a miracle from God can set things right. The song points to the Bible and the Holy Spirit as the source of truth and answers, ultimately affirming faith in God's redemptive power. It's a candid confession of imperfection and a plea for understanding, wrapped in a message of hope and reliance on divine grace.
There must be something wrong with me
I won't stop taking chances
It's nothing to do with apathy
I can't take no for an answer
Give me a reason
Why do I do it?
Would you believe it
If I told you a lie?
Give me a reason
How could I do it?
The truth isn't easy
That much I can't deny
The question still remains the same
On who can I place all the blame?
The demons, devils of the world
Or is it only myself?
There is something definitely wrong
With all of us
It would take a miracle of God
To make things right
There is something wrong here
With all of us...
The answer lies in front of me
Confirmed by God's own Spirit
It's the pages that I read
How could I ever deny it?
