One of my first songs as a young teen in 96, “Because of You”, is a song that highlights the seemingly impossible task of what it means to live for Christ.
There’s only one answer to the verse’s questions: Jesus and his gospel.

LYRICS
How can you change when your heart’s full of stone?
How can you 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 if you don’t obey?
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?
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,
Cause 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
