We Are The Reason

by David Meece
VERSE 1:
G Am/F#
As little children we would dream of
B Em Dm7 G C
Christmas morn and all the gifts and toys
G/B Am7
we knew we'd find,
B Em Em/D
but we never realised a baby born one blessed
Em/C# Cmaj7 Am7 D7
night gave us the greatest gift of our lives.

CHORUS:
G Am/G
We are the reason that He gave His life,
Dsus D G
we are the reason that He suffered and died,
D/F# Em Am7
to a world that was lost, He gave all He could
D7 G
give to show us the reason to live.

VERSE 2:
G Am/F#
As the years go by we learned more
B Em Dm7 G C
about gifts, giving of ourselves
G/B Am7
and what that means.
B Em Em/D
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying
Em/C# Cmaj7 Am7 D7
in the rain because of love, because of love.

BRIDGE:
Eb Bb/D
I've finally found a reason for living,
Bbm Ab/C
it's in giving every part of my heart to Him,
Abm/B Eb/Ab Cm7
In all that I do, every word that I say,
F Ab E
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him.

CHORUS 2:
Amaj7 Bm7/A
And we are the reason that He gave His life,
Bm/Ab G/C# F#m7 A
we are the reason that He suffered and died,
Dmaj9 A/C#
to a world that was lost,
Bm Bm7/A
He gave all He could give,
Bm/Ab G/C# F#m Fmaj7
to show us the reason to live.
D A
He is my reason to live.
