We Are The Reason

I am not a preacher nor a catechist so I don’t feel I am not fit to post an entry about lent. I just want to share to you a song very close to my heart. This song has been a part of my life… of my then-religious life when I was still very active in my youth ministry. This song encompasses the true meaning of lent. Reminding us the real reason of the season. Reminding us all why our Lord Jesus Christ chose the cross to save us from our sins.

I’d like to quote a very nice comment I came across in youtube as I was browsing this inspiring video: "It wasn’t nails that killed Him on the cross… but His love for you and me…"

Have a very meaningful lent, my dear friends! Let us spend some solemn moments with God. May God bless us all!

We Are The Reason

Written and Sung by David Meece

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
And 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

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

As the years went by we learned more about gifts
And giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying
in the rain
Because of love, because of love

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

I 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 my reason to live
