Why is There Pain?

G Dsus2/F# Em7
His tears fall with ours
G Dsus2/F# Em7
When you stumble; when you fall
C C/B Am7
God with infinite powers
G Dsus2/F# Em7
Watches us crumble, waiting to fix it all

G Dsus2/F# Em7
He could reach out his hand
G Dsus2/F# Em7
Pull us from the brink and lift us up
C C/B Am7
I would take it and stand
G Dsus2/F# Em7
But I'm left to drink from life's bitter cup

Chorus:
A C#m Dsus4-D-F-E
Why is there pain
A C#m Dsus2-D-F-E
Why do floods come with the rain
A C#m Dsus4-D-F-E
Cower under the clouds and weep
A C#m Dsus2-D-F-E
Nothing we sowed left to reap
A C#m Dsus4-D-F-E
Gone without a trace; erase a year's toil
A C#m Dsus2-D-F-E
Left with nothing but grace, and rich, black soil

G Dsus2/F# Em7
Ignorance is bliss
G Dsus2/F# Em7
And omniscience is love
C C/B Am7
Betrayed with a kiss
G Dsus2/F# Em7
Cut off from God above

A C#m Dsus4-D-F-E
Why is there pain
A C#m Dsus2-D-F-E
For the same reason there's rain
A C#m Dsus4-D-F-E
He's been here and he knows
A C#m Dsus2-D-F-E
The pain and fear that he chose
A C#m Dsus4-D-F-E
And little by little, we unwrap the riddle
A C#m Dsus2-D F E A
Sweet thorns of a rose, our under-stand-ing blooms and grows
A C#m Dsus4-D-F-E A
