Why Are We First
by Chris Christian

Album: Love Them While We Can

Verdicts come so quick
From our perfect jury
You should be fasting
Don't you believe
Or is the Lord only speaking to me
I heard he said, "can't you believe
What he probably did
I can't associate with that kind
Lord, come quickly
Don't you think it's time?

Why are we first to kill our own wounded
Why do we leave the sick unattended
Who needs us more than a lamb
Who's lost his way from the family
It's such a tragedy
How did forgiveness get so one-sided
We ask and receive and then we go hiding
Why are we first to kill our own wounded

So he's done us wrong
Must we start throwing stones
Shouldn't he be the first place we go
Before we tell everyone else we know
If He has a thirst, my we find a drink
'Cause I can't be seen
With a man of the dark
Someone must soften his stone-cold heart

Why are we first to kill our own wounded
Why do we leave the sick unattended
Who needs us more than a lamb
Who's lost his way from the family
It's such a tragedy
How did forgiveness get so one-sided
We ask and receive and then we go hiding
Why are we first to kill our own wounded
Our own wounded
Our own wounded...
