C                  G
Oh Lord, I need to ask you
     F                  C
Some things I'd like to know
F                   C
How do you make the leaves turn green
    Am                 G
And make the flowers grow
C                   G
How do you make the sky pour down
       F            C
those little drops of rain
    F               C
And every snowflake that you make
   Am          G
is never quite the same


       Bb      F
Well I need to know
C          G
How do you do it
       Bb      F
Well I need to know
C          G
How do you care


C                  G
Oh Lord, I need to ask you
     F            C
Some questions on my mind
F                   C
How do you make the lame to walk
     Am            G
Give vision to the blind
F                C
You've healed so many broken hearts
     Am           G
What makes you be so kind


(chorus)
       Bb      F
Well I need to know
C          G
How do you do it
       Bb      F
Well I need to know
C          G
How do you care
F           C
How is that you always have
    Am           G
the answer to my prayers


C          G 
Oh Lord, I need to ask you
         F                 C
One more thing I'd like to know
F           C
Why did you come to save us
Am            G
So many years ago
C                G
The way you were treated
    F              C
The hatred that we showed
    F                  C
The things you were to go through
      Am             G
Well, did you really know
Bb                F
Did you know that you were sent
   C                    G
to set death's captives free
Bb                F
Did you know that you would
     C               D
give your life on calvary


(chorus)


Bb
I need to know 
how could you love me
so much that you would
die for me
Or could it be
that love for me
                           C
is all I really need to know
