Key: G

WE ARE THE REASON

          G                 Am/F#    B7/D#     Em
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
    Dm7     G/D       C        G/B       Am7
And all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
       B/D#     Em           Em/D             Em/C#
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
            Cmaj7        Am7       Dsus  D
Gave us the greatest gift   of our lives

Chorus 1:
G                       Am
We were the reason that He gave His life
Dsus        D              G                G  D/F#
We were the reason that He suffered and died
     Em                          Am7
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
   D7                    G
To show us the reason to live

Verse 2:
       G                Am/F#         B7/D#  Em
As the years went by we learned more about   gifts 
Dm7    G/D   C          G/B       Am7
Giving of ourselves and what that means
     B/D#            Em             Em/D          Em/C#
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
           Cmaj7 Am7            Dsus D
Because of love,     because of love

Chorus 1:
G                       Am
We were the reason that He gave His life
Dsus        D              G                G  D/F#
We were the reason that He suffered and died
     Em                          Am7
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
   D7                    G
To show us the reason to live

Bridge:
     Eb                         Bb/D
I've finally found a reason for li-ving,
        Bbm/C#                   Ab/C
it's in gi-ving every part of my heart to Him
   Abm/B                Eb/Bb       Cm7
In all that I do, every word that I say
        F                       Bb       E/B
I'll be gi-ving my all just for Him, for Him

Chorus 2:
    A                      Bm
And we are the reason that He gave His life
Esus       E              A
We are the reason that He suffered and died
E/G#  F#m                         Bm7
To a  world that was lost He gave all He could give
   E7                    F#m  B
To show us the reason to live
D        E         A
He is my reason to live
