Who am I to have your ear
When-ever I call your name
And who I to be forgiven
When certain things just don't change.
And I haven't done a thing to
Deserve your favor and your grace.
After all the hurt I've cause you
Lord I must say you got me wondering

Why oh why x4

Said you would save me than I looked at you
And laughed in your face
Said you would heal me and than I turned away
And treated you like you were fake
In spite of me not being worthy
You still giving new mercy's
Day after day
And chance after chance
You never throw me away
So you got me wondering

Why oh why x4

I know the word
And the word is love
And it's sent from up above
Something I'm not worthy of

I now the who and the is you
Your alpha and omega
Your daddy and your savior

I now the when and it's over and over again
You prove to be my friend
From the morning to PM

And I don't have a spectacular bone in my body
But you love anyway
So father I just want to say

Thank You (continuous)

(Worship) :)

Who am I to have your ear
When-ever I call...

About This Song

"Why" is a deeply introspective gospel ballad that explores themes of unworthiness and divine grace, with Jonathan McReynolds questioning why God continues to show love and forgiveness despite human failures and shortcomings. The song features vulnerable, conversational lyrics that express genuine bewilderment at receiving unmerited favor, creating an intimate dialogue between the believer and God. Musically, it showcases McReynolds' signature contemporary gospel style with smooth R&B influences, featuring soulful vocals over gentle instrumentation that allows the emotional weight of the lyrics to take center stage. The track stands out for its raw honesty about spiritual struggle and gratitude, avoiding typical praise song triumphalism in favor of humble reflection. This authenticity helped establish McReynolds as a distinctive voice in contemporary Christian music, connecting with listeners who appreciate transparent expressions of faith that acknowledge human frailty alongside divine mercy.
