[Verse 1] I asked You how I’d make it through the storm that broke my ground, The walls had fallen, hope was thin, my world was upside down, I begged You for a blueprint, Lord, a map to see me through, You didn’t give me answers, Lord — You gave me only You. [Verse 2] I asked You how this broken heart would ever learn to mend, I counted all the shattered days and wondered where they’d end, I needed explanation, God, a reason and a clue, You didn’t give me reasons, Lord — You gave me only You. [Chorus] I asked You how, You answered You, The question became a door, I came with maps and diagrams, You gave me something more. Not a plan, not a timeline, Lord, But a home inside my soul, I asked You how, You answered You, And You became my whole. [Verse 3] I asked You how the promise could be planted in dead ground, Like Moses at the burning bush, just trembling at the sound, Like Mary in her wondering, before the Spirit flew, You didn’t give them methods, Lord — You gave them only You. [Chorus] I asked You how, You answered You, The question became a door, I came with maps and diagrams, You gave me something more. Not a plan, not a timeline, Lord, But a home inside my soul, I asked You how, You answered You, And You became my whole. [Bridge] We asked how we could ever cross the canyon of our sin, How guilty hands and broken lives could ever be made clean, You didn’t send a theory down or formulas to hold, You wrapped Yourself in flesh and bone and entered in the cold. The cross became Your answer to the how we could not solve, The grave could not contain the love that death could not dissolve, You rose and made Your dwelling place within this heart of mine, I asked how I could come to God — You said, “I am the vine.” [Chorus (Final — with lift)] I asked You how, You answered You, The question became a door, I came with maps and diagrams, You gave me something more. Not a plan, not a timeline, Lord, But a home inside my soul, I asked You how, You answered You, And You became my whole. [Outro] I stopped asking how, I started asking You, When I asked You how, You answered You.
