There are no words in times like these
|
When tears don't hide the tragedies
|
And all you want is a reason for the world
|
|
No comfort in the greeting card
|
Cause God is good
|
But life's still hard
|
and your heart just wants a reason for the world
|
|
Maybe the reason for the pain
|
Is so we would pray for strength
|
And maybe the reason for the strength
|
Is so that we would not lose hope
|
And maybe the reason for all hope
|
Is so that we could face the world
|
And the reason for the world
|
Is to make us long for home
|
|
For God so loved your broken heart
|
He sent his son to where you are
|
and he died
|
To give a reason for the world
|
|
So lift your sorrows to the one
|
Whose plan for you has just begun
|
And rests here in the hands that hold the world
|
|
Maybe the reason for the pain
|
Is so we would pray for strength
|
And maybe the reason for the strength
|
Is so that we would not lose hope
|
And maybe the reason for all hope
|
Is so that we could face the world
|
And the reason for the world
|
Is to make us long for home
|
|
Well I know your past the point of broken
|
Surrounded by your frea
|
i KNOW you're faint and tired and lonely
|
from the road that you walked down here
|
But just keep your eyes on heaven
|
and know that you are not alone
|
remember the reason for the world
|
|
No ear has heard
|
No eye has seen
|
Not even in your wildest dreams
|
A beauty that awaits beyond this world
|
When you look into the eyes of grace
|
and hear the voice of mercy say
|
Child, welcome to the reason for the world
|
