We Are The Reason Lyrics

David Phelps

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 as the years went by
We would learn more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that meant
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’ve 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, to live (The reason to live)

He is my reason to live (He is my reason, my reason to live)
My reason to live (He is my reason, my reason to live)
He is my reason to live (He is my reason, my reason to live)
He is my reason to live (He is my reason, my reason to live)

Knowing You’ll Be There

Song by Guy Penrod

The other day I passed the place
You always liked to go
And I picked up the phone because
I thought you’d want to know
But I forgot you weren’t there
I miss you all these days
That I’m reminded of your smile
And the funny things you’d say

I see you most at Christmas
You were like a little kid
You always loved a good surprise
And now I must admit
That I long more for heaven
Than I ever did before
You give me one more reason

And each day I want it more

Knowing we can spend a lifetime
Reminiscing on the past
Knowing I will see your face again
Where tender moment last
It makes me wanna go there

Knowing I won’t be alone
Knowing you’ll be there makes it easy to go home

You left a group of fishermen
Somehow you left me too
‘Though I’ve felt you many times
And know you saw me through
I’ve always long to feel your arms
And look into your eyes
And talk forever me and you
Somewhere in paradise

Knowing we can spend a lifetime
Reminiscing on the past
Knowing I will see your face again
Where tender moment last
It makes me wanna go there
Knowing I won’t be alone
Knowing you’ll be there makes it easy to go home
Just, knowing you’ll be there makes it easy to go home

Lovely Christmas Song: “Christmas in Our Hearts” by Jose Mari Chan

By

On December 17, 2024

In Christmas, Headline

This Original Pilipino Music (OPM), “Christmas in Our Hearts” written and sang by the talented Filipino Singer Songwriter Jose Marie Chan, is one of the most popular songs in the Philippines. The lyrics convey the real meaning of Christmas. It’s not about presents. It’s not about Santa Claus. It’s not about the reindeer. It’s about the greatest gift that humanity has ever had! This Christmas, will you accept this precious free gift from God?

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)“

Jesus Christ, the Christ of Christmas, the Reason for this season!

Christmas in Our Hearts
Lyrics and Song by Jose Mari Chan

Whenever I see girls and boys
Selling lanterns on the street
I remember the child in the manger as he sleeps
Wherever there are people
Giving gifts exchanging cards
I believe that Christmas is truly in our hearts
Let’s light our Christmas trees for a bright tomorrow
Where nations are at peace,
And all are one in God

[Chorus:]
Let’s sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us as another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts

In every prayer and every song
The community unite celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ
Let love like that starlight on that first Christmas morn
Lead us back to the manger where Christ the child was born
So come let us rejoice
Come and sing the Christmas carol with one big joyful voice
Proclaim the name of the Lord

Let’s sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us as another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts

Let’s sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
The season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us as another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts
