Matthew West - The Reason For The World lyrics

rate me

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 fear

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
