This is a classic song (since the 80's) we've sung so often in Sunday School and Church. The lyrics simply hit home to what Christmas is truly all about - the CHRIST in Christmas. Here's the midi version in case you don't know the tune, click here. http://www.arcadiachristianchurch.org/MIDI/davidmeece_WeAreReason.mid
We are the Reason
Words & Music by David Meece Copyright 1980 Meece Music (admin by) WORD Music
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

Wonderful. It's wonderful to hear a hymn for Christmas which is meaningful instead of Jingle Belling and Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.
Let me take this opportunity to wish you a very blessed and joyous Christmas in Him.
I leave you my favourite verse for this season from Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Wow! And Amen!
You're right and there are quite a number of contemporary Christmas tunes albeit few and far in between.
Thanks for your Christmas wishes,
here's wishing you and your family a Blessed Christmas too.
A friend gave me this song and I really enjoyed the beautiful melody and the great chorus, but I just couldn't understand the verses (I'm not a native English speaker). So I looked the lyrics up on the internet and I ended up on this site. Now I enjoy the song even more.
It's a great song, as well for the Christmas season as for the rest of the year.
God bless every single one of you!!!
