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.
But maybe the reason for the pain
Is so that 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 the hope
Is so that we could face the world.
And the reason for the world
Is to make us long for home, home, 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 rest here in the hands that hold the world.
'Cause maybe the reason for the pain
Is so that 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 the 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 you're past the point of broken,
Surrounded by your fears.
I know your feet are tired and weary
From the road that you walk 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,
The 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."
