Lyrics
1)As little children, we would dream of Christmas morn,
Of 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
Refrain: 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
2)As the years went by, we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day, a man hung dying in the rain
Because of love, because of love
Refrain: 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
I finally found a reason for living
It's in giving ev'ry part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, ev'ry word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
Final Refrain: 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 a reason to live
He is my reason to live
