Why Do You Love Me

Jericho Road

You teach me lessons that I never seem to learn

You build another bridge for every one I burn

You believe in me

Far beyond my limitations

It's hard to live up to the faith you have in me

Your patience sees the person I could never be

And says that's who I am

In spite of all I've been

Even though you know what's in my heart



Why do you love me? Why are you here?

When I don't give you a reason to even want to care

Why do you suffer my private pain?

I can't believe the things you've seen me through

Why do you love me like you do?



When I can't see beyond the shadows of my past

When all my treasured dreams are slipping from my grasp

You restore my hope

Far beyond my expectations

You are a warrior to the demons at my door

When I am not enough then you're a little more

An answer to a prayer

When no one else is there

A hero in my deepest hour of need



Why do you love me? Why are you here?

When I don't give you a reason to even want to care

Why do you suffer my private pain

I can't believe the selflessness of you

Why do you love me like you do?

I can't believe the things you've seen me through

Why do you love me like you do?
