Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, mmm
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, mmm-mmm, hmm
Ooh, mmm
Ooh, uh
Ooh, uh, uh, uh, uh
[Verse 2]
You made the sun, You made the moon
Gave seasons change
(Whoa)
You made the clouds, You put the rainbow
After rain
(Whoa)
Created time, knowledge to one's mind
Gave pictures frames
(Whoa)
Created man, gave him woman
Why did You do that for me?
[Verse 3]
These are the questions asked
Before I lay me down and go to sleep
(Ooh, sometimes I wonder)
Sometimes I wonder why You decided
To keep Your hands on me
Of all the miracles, signs, and wonders
There's still one mystery
How did You manage to love me?
[Verse 4]
You breathed the life right into me
That made my heart beat
(Whoa)
Created the mountains, all of the deep seas
Flowers and the trees
(Whoa)
You made tomorrow come again
You calm the strong winds
(Whoa)
And after all I've done, You gave me a son
Tell me, why would You do that for me?
[Verse 5]
These are the questions asked
Before I lay me down and go to sleep
(Right in the middle of my prayers)
Sometimes I wonder why You decided
To keep Your hands on me
Of all the miracles, signs, and wonders
There's still one mystery
How did You manage to love me?
(How did You manage that?)
How did You manage to love me?
[Verse 6]
Said, I've got to know how
(How did You manage to love me?)
After all the wrong I've done, oh, Lord
How?
(How did You manage to love me?)
After I've been so bad, oh, Lord
How, oh, how
(How did You manage to forgive me?)
Even when I didn't believe in me
You believed in me, Lord, how?
(How did You manage to forgive me?)
Jesus, You sacrificed Your very life for me
(How did You manage to forgive me?)
Ooh, Lord, tell me
(Why did You pay the price for me?)
Ooh-ooh, You, ooh why?
(How did You manage to love me?)
