Why You Say (It Is Well)
(Jacob R. McGowen)
[1st Verse]
You really lost it all
On such a tragic day
Helene, it came in fall
And stole your home away
[Pre-Chorus]
You lost your mom and dad
Your town, your family
Yet, you chose to stand tall
And you chose to believe
[Chorus]
How can you still have hope?
How can you still go on?
How can you still have faith?
How can you stay so strong?
How can you still have peace
And go through so much hell?
I want to understand
Why you say it is well
[2nd Verse]
You could have left it all
Packed up and moved away
You could have given up
You could have lost your faith
[Pre-Chorus]
Yet, you chose to stand strong
To rebuild and reclaim
You did not choose despair
You chose to praise His name
[Chorus]
How can you still have hope?
How can you still go on?
How can you still have faith?
How can you stay so strong?
How can you still have peace
And go through so much hell?
I want to understand
Why you say it is well
[Bridge]
You may not get much help
From evil, wicked men
And justice may not come
Yet, I can’t comprehend
How you can trust in God
And know He has a plan
Believe you’re in His arms
That you are in His hands
[Outro]
But you will still have hope
And you will still go on
And you will live your life
And you will still be strong
And we will see you thrive
And we’ll remember when
You faced the raging storm
And helped your fellow man
