Because of You

I wrote this song back in 1996. It was written at a time when I realized that I was powerless to change myself, and was utterly dependent on God’s grace for the power to change and please him.

In the verses the song asks questions that seem to leave us without hope, but the chorus unashamedly cries that it’s only because of Jesus we experience freedom.

Lyrics:

How can you change when your heart’s full of stone?

How canyou cry when all your feelings are gone?

How can you run with your feet tied down?

How can you stand on shaking ground? 

How can you love from a selfish place?

What is belief when you don’t obey?

 

But here I am with my hands held high….

Because of You only you Jesus

Because of You only you Jesus

 

How can you hear when you don’t understand?

How can you see if you can’t comprehend?

How can you build when you’re falling apart?

How can you care from a broken heart?

How can you give when your joy is gone?

What is hope if you’re all alone? 

 

But here I am with my hands held high….

Because of You only you Jesus

Because of You only you Jesus

Now I know what love is…. it’s because of you, only you 

Now I know what love is…. it’s because of you, only you 

 

Here I am with my hands held high

I stand by grace, I’m trusting in you 

I’m not wondering how, I’m not asking why 

‘cos I know, I know… 

 

Because of You only you Jesus

Because of You only you Jesus

Now I know what love is…. it’s because of you, only you 

Now I know what love is…. it’s because of you, only you
