Selah

Give me a reason why we want to live.
Give me a reason why even through hardships we still want to push forward.
Give me a reason why we look forward to the bright tomorrow when we are in still in darkness.
Tell me why we let people see that we are happy even though every bit of us is hurting?
Tell me why because I only know of one reason.
That reason is Jesus.

awesome His plans are when I let go of my own plans to follow His.
He who fills me with His treasure when I finally empty myself of the idols I'm clinging to.
He who whispers to my heart that He will wipe away my tears and make me beautiful again when I admit that I am broken.
He who says that He will fight the wars for me, when I honestly tell Him that I can't do it.
He who will fill my heart with joy by living to please Him.
He who will bring victory if I will surrender to Him.
He who will run towards us if we only take the first step forward.

He is the reason why I look forward to a better tomorrow.
That He has plans for me; plans not to harm me but to give me hope and future.
That He will never leave me nor forsake me whatever the circumstances might be.
That He will never leave me when my heart is broken but will draw closer to me instead.
He tells me that He is the parent to the orphans.
That He is the light for the lost.
He is the comfort for the weary.
That if we find ourselves with nothing, He is our everything.
That He will never forsake me even if my sanity will.
That even though I find myself in confusion and in disorder, He will turn them into beauty and order in His perfect time.

He is the reason why I don't give up on life.
For He is always is with me and wants to be with me.
For He loves me, He loves us so much that He is willing to die for us.
The very truth that the King of Kings,
the LORD on high, the star breather and heart former,
the beginning and end, the almighty God who alone is good,
pure, and worthy cares for me;
I,who compare to Him, am nothing.
That even if I fall and stumble, He will just pick me up.
That even if I fail, all He will ever show me is His undying love.
That undying love that He showed me and everybody through His death on that cross.
On that cross where He willingly let His blood be spilled.
The blood that paid all the sins that we can't pay for ourselves.
He embraced the punishment that ought to be upon us.
He died so that we may live.

The only reason I see is Jesus.
Tell me a reason greater than that?
If not, then He is the only reason.
He should be our purpose to live.
He should be the shoulder we cry on.
That He should be that tomorrow were waiting for.
He should be the arms we should run to.
After all, He is all that we need and He is more than enough.
That He is the one who will satisfy the thirst of my heart.
The hunger of our soul.
He alone is the one who could fill the gaps of my heart.
He alone will complete me.
Only Him.

That's why He is my only reason.
