[F] [G] [C]
[G] [C]
There are [G] no words in times [C] like these when tears don't hide the tragedies
And [G] all you want is a reason for the world
[C] No comfort in a greeting [C] card
Cause God is good but life's still hard
[G] And your heart just wants a reason for [C] the world
Maybe the [F] reason for the pain
Is [G] so that we would pray for strength
And maybe [Am] the reason for the strength
Is [D] so that [G] we would not lose hope
And maybe [Am] the reason for us
Is [G] so that we could face the world
And [Dm] the reason for [C] the [F]
world
Is to make us long [C] for
[F] [G]
For [C]
God so loved your broken heart
He sent his son to where you are
And [G] he died to give a reason for [C] the world
So lift your sorrows to the one
[F] Whose plan for you has just begun
[G] And rest here in the hands that hold the world
[C] Cause maybe [F] the reason for the pain
Is [G] so that we would pray for strength
And maybe [F] the reason for the strength
Is [G] so that we would not lose hope
And maybe [Am] the reason for us
Is [G] so that we could face the world

I know [F] your feet are tired and weary
From [Am] the road that you're [G] down here
But [F] just keep your eyes on heaven
And [Am] know that you are [G] the lamb of [Dm] the reason for
[C] [F]
No [C]
ear has heard, no eye has seen
[F] Not even in your wildest dreams
[G] The beauty that awaits [C] beyond this world
When you look into the eyes of grace
[F] And hear the voice of mercy say
[G] Child welcome to the reason for [C] the world
