We Are the Reason

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
