C5                                                    
There are no words in times like these
      F5
When tears won't hide the tragedies
     A5                G5              F5
And all you want is a reason for the world

    C5
No comfort in the greeting card
       F5
Cause God is good, but life's still hard
           A5                G5             F5
And your heart just wants a reason for the world

Chorus
               Am/C       (1st chorus only; all others C)
But maybe the reason for the pain
            G5
Is so that we would pray for strength
               F5
And maybe the reason for the strength
            G5
Is so that we would not lose hope
                A5
And maybe the reason for all hope
           G5
Is so that we could face the world
         A5     G5        F5                           C5     F5         A5 G5 F5
And the reason for the world is to make us long for home, home

For God so loved your broken heart
He sent His son to where you are
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

Chorus

                    A5
Well I know you're past the point of broken
          G5
Surrounded by your fear
              F5
I know your feet are tired and weary
           G5
From the road you walk down here
           C5
But just keep your eyes on heaven
               G5
And know that you are not alone
            A5       G5          F5
Remember the reason for the world

No ear has heard, no eye has seen
Not even in your wildest dreams
The 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."
