Story behind the song
The love of the lord Jesus Christ
Lyrics
WHY IS ALL YOU CAN ASK (The awe of its silence)
(Lyrics and music by Sunil Noronha)
For souls so unworthy, He came down to die
So that we all can have eternal life
No amount of rationale will help you understand
The kind of love that he brought down
Motives, desires, interests, obligations
duties, pain and suffering
dictate the extremes and the limitations
of the love we know and give
The love that He brought down
The love from above
has got love, love, love and only love
You will not be able to understand it until you come to
feel the awe of its silence when you ask why.
Why is all you can ask when you see that you knew it all along.
Why is all you can ask when you feel the love of God so strong
Why is all you can ask when you fully know the love of God above
Why is all you can ask when you open your eyes to God's love.
People are looking for that kind of love
They need to understand
That it comes from the Great God above
Not from the heart of any man
You cannot evaluate it, you cannot rate it
You are blind if you underestimate it
It's an ability sought, one far too great to ever have
Too much to weigh before you can decide to pay
Why is all you can ask when you feel the awe of its silence
Why is all you can ask when you feel the love of God so strong
Why is all you can ask when you fully know the love of God above
Why is all you can ask when you open your eyes to God's love.
