The reason for the world

Weer een pagina af voor mijn liedjes album. Deze keer een nummer van Matthew West. Wij stellen onszelf zo vaak de vraag "waarom", en dat is de reden dat ik deze tekst zo ontzettend mooi vind.

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

Maybe the reason for the pain
Is do 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 all hope
Is so that we could face the world
And the reason for het world
Is to make us long for home.

For God so loved your broken heart
He sent his son t 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 rests here in the hands that hold the world

Maybe the reason for the pain
Is so 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 all hope
Is so that we could face the world
And the reason for het world
Is to make us long for home.

Well I know your past the point of broken
Surrounded by your fear
I know your feet are tired and weary
From the road that you walked 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
A 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
