We Are the Reason

As previously mentioned, I really enjoy listening to Christmas music throughout the month of December.

(......and into January, too!)

The lyrics below are those of another "modern classic" that I absolutely love.  Such meaningful words, especially these:

"We never realized a baby born one blessed night gave us the greatest gift of our lives"

Yes, THE greatest gift.  Ever.

In all the hustle and bustle of the holiday days, we must not let "all that stuff" crowd out the true reason for the season.

HE is the reason.  WE are the reason.

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

Matt

We Are the Reason

(David Meece)

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn

Of all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find

But we never realized a baby born one blessed night

Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We were the reason that He gave His life

We were the reason that He suffered and died

To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give

To show us the reason to live

As the years went by we learned more about gifts

The giving of ourselves and what that means

On a dark and cloudy day, a man hung crying in the rain

All because of love, all because of love

Oh and we were the reason that He gave His life

We were the reason that He suffered and died

To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give

To show us the reason to live

I've finally found the reason for living

It's in giving every part of my heart to Him

In all that I do, every word that I say

I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

And we are the reason that He gave His life

We are the reason that He suffered and died

To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give

To show us the reason to live

He is our reason to live
