Jon Mclaughlin – Questions Lyrics 13 years ago
This song is so beautiful and touching.

The beginning, about Katie, is about a girl who has a bad relationship with her dad, so she tries to fulfill herself with romantic relationship, only to be used and get her heart broken. Her dad doesn't understand how to communicate with her, and doesn't know how to help her, so Katie feels rejected. She questions her faith in God - how could Jesus never leave her? All she knows is men who leave her.

Danny did something and went to jail, and when he gets out, he sees his family was ripped apart by it. He feels guilty and doesn't know how to fix it, and he can't stand how his family is, so he turns to alcohol. His family didn't forgive him for what he did - so he questions his faith. How could Jesus forgive him? All he knows is people who don't forgive.

The last part is about Jesus's crucifixion. The people don't know who He is - they don't understand what He came to do. But as Jesus dies for them, they start to understand that what they've been doing is wrong, and they start to understand why He came. They understand that He came to answer their questions and to save everyone who is broken and lost.

The last line means the most to me. It makes me cry. Why would anyone ever be willing to die for someone as awful as me?
