The Reason for the World Matthew West
INTRO: C F G C
VERSE 1:
There [C]are no words in times like these, when t[F]ears don't hide the tragedies
And [G]all you want is a reason for the[C] world
No [C]comfort in the greeting card, 'cause G[F]od is good, but life's still hard
And your [G]heart just wants a reason for the [C]world
CHORUS:
(But) maybe the r[F]eason for the pain Is so that [G]we would pray for strength
And maybe the [F]reason for the strength Is so that [G]we would not lose hope
And maybe the [Am]reason for all hope Is so that [G]we could face the world
And the r[Dm]eason for [C]the [F]world is to make us long for h[C]ome, h[F]ome, h[G]ome[C]
VERSE 2:
For G[C]od so loved your broken heart, He s[F]ent His son to where you are
And He d[G]ied to give a reason for the w[C]orld
So [C]lift your sorrows to the One, whose [F]plan for you has just begun
And r[G]est here in the hands that hold the wo[C]rld
(Chorus (start: "Cause"))
BRIDGE:
Well I know you're p[F]ast the point of broken, su[Am]rrounded by your [G]fear
I know your [F]feet are tired and weary, from the [Am]road that you walk down [G]here
But just k[F]eep your eyes on heaven, and know that [Am]you are not a[G]lone
Remember the [Dm]reason for [C]the w[F]orld...
VERSE 3:
No [C]ear has heard, no eye has seen, not [F]even in your wildest dreams
The [G]beauty that awaits beyond this wo[C]rld
When you [C]look into the eyes of grace, and [F]hear the voice of mercy say,
"Child, [G]welcome to the reason for the wo[C]rld."
