The Reason
The Reason
Copyright 2006.
Just like this song implies, I woke up one morning and sat on the bed writing this song. I realized then, as I do now,
that I'm really not worthy to be doing this. Yet my lips are the 'pen of a ready writer', and I felt compelled to
write this song for the Lord.
Truly, He IS the reason I write and sing. And praising Him and writing songs of love and praise to Him is what we will
be doing for ever, there before His throne.
I do not know if you are in this situation, but there are friends of mine I have literally pleaded with for years to turn to the Lord.
It is sad that they are unwilling to take the step of faith and surrender their pride, and trust Him for their salvation. A salvation freely offered, while we are alive.
It's a limited Time Offer. Have you accepted this free gift of eternal life?
Lyrics
Verse 1:
In the early morning hours, as the sun begins to rise
I sit here on the bed with the sleep still in my eyes
With an unworthy heart, but an all-too-ready pen
I'm compelled, my King, to write to You again.
Chorus:
And You, You are the reason I write.
You, You are the reason I sing.
You, You bring me hope in the night
You, who gave everything.
Verse 2:
As the sun tops the trees and the room is filled with light
I can see you in the distance on a throne of brilliant white
As you sit to judge the nations and divide us left and right
Some for heaven, some eternal night.
Bridge:
And I weep as I see friends, who I've pleaded with for years
Being led off to destruction, getting blurry through the tears
Till a hand with nail scars wipes those tears away
And I realize it's over, there is nothing more to do
But to spend eternity writing songs like this to You
Just for You.
Just for You.
Chorus:
