For the past month or so I have been listening to and enjoying music from my childhood. Specifically early Christian music.
Some of the songs have brought back memories, many brought smiles, some even brought tears, but each one reminds me where I came from and even how blessed I have been. Music does shape and encourage us.
One song came across today, and I have to share with you. It is called “We Are the Reason” by David Meece. Check out some of the words from this song.
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…
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
I finally found a 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 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 a reason to live
Check that title and that meaning. We are the reason. We are the reason Jesus came to earth and died on the cross. We are the reason, and that hits my heart. What do you think?
Praise God for the gift He gave us!
1 Peter 3:18 NLT
Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.
