Way back when I was in college the irst time I was introduced to a song by David Meece called
We Are the Reason. I’ve always thought it was a great Christmas song, but I never heard it during Christmas only around Easter. I still contend that it is a Christmas song. I like it at Christmas because it connects us with the reason for the Incarnation/the reason for Jesus’ coming to this earth in human form- our salvation.
Below are the words to the song as well as a link to listen to it on YouTube.
WE ARE THE REASON by 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
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
Merry Christmas, may you find the Reason and share that with others this year. God Bless you ALLways,
