Why Do You Love Me

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
Who do You suffer my private pain
Oh, 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
Who do You suffer my private pain
Oh, I can't believe the things
You've seen me through
Why do You love me like You do

Oh, I can't believe the selflessness of You
Why do You love me
Mmm, why do You love me
