The Reason
The depth of our anxiety the focus of our need
Is promised in the scriptures that by grace it won't exceed
What we in our capacity by grace can understand
When faithfully we follow as our Lord has made command
For many are the trials and temptations that we face
To doubt the mighty love of God that comes through holy grace
But all can have a purpose for our good if we employ
The love for Him Who made us to dwell in His holy joy
That joy that does not falter though at times it's sorely tried
For which our Saviour offered all of heaven when He died
To bring us an assurance that one day our pain would end
When He will wipe away our past of loss and reckless sin
For He Who holds tomorrow also holds our hand today
And as He's always promised will be with us all the way
From birth to our renewal in His Spirit by His grace
Til when we stand in glory there to see the Father's face
And when we hold that promise like a fine and precious stone
We have the greatest confidence that we are not alone
That Christ and all His angels will attend to all our need
That will ensure our progress in His Way that will succeed
For what we live and witness in this life we live today
Has more than just a reason to refine us in the Way
As all the waiting universe is watching us to see
The power of God's mighty Truth lived out in you and me
The Truth that man has slandered through his course of selfish sin
Inspired by the devil who controls the minds of men
And fills their hearts with evil as he makes them like his own
Who entertain temptations by the careless seed that's sown
As each day like another they pursue what they desire
Until they reach probation's end where all things will expire
That have not been committed to the True and Holy God
Who works through those who love Him in the path they choose to trod
And who have seen by faith the greater reason that we live
And why we are the chosen who accept what God did give
To prove to all the universe the Truth in Christ they see
By how His grace is paramount today in you and me
