The reason for the world.

I purchased a song by Matthew West, "The Reason for the World." Just read below...sometimes I think I missed the whole thing.  Praise God for His grace-I can't believe how big His plans are.  Big. Huge. Great. Wonderful. And sometimes scary.

Somebody asked me the other day where all I wanted to travel.  My response comes with a big smile: heaven will be all I ever need of travel. If beauty here leaves us speechless-just try to imagine what it will look like. I like traveling; I just know heaven will rock and I will never think back on this place.

Oh yes-the lyrics. But first, handsome comes home tonight!  He is so beautiful to me.  Ladies-wait for what God has. It will leave you in awe. Okay-now really, the lyrics!


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 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 the world
Is to make us long for home

For God so loved your broken heart
He sent his son to 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 the world
Is to make us long for home

Well I know your past the point of broken
Surrounded by your frea
i KNOW you're faint and tired and lonely
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
