The Reason For It All

Lyrics

THE REASON FOR IT ALL
w/m by Chris Blanton

VERSE 1
Nobody but You can see the real me.
I try to show Your love, but I?m so clumsy.
It?s tough to find the right words for my emotion.
Don?t wanna cause a scene or stir up a commotion...
But You know my heart, and You search my thoughts,
so I trust You, Lord, with this day.

CHORUS
After all is said and done,
You will be the one who knows me
better than I know myself,
cause You made me,
and put this love within me,
and You will be the reason for it all.

VERSE 2
So they don?t know about the reasons why I do things
the way do because I wanna show Your glory.
But I believe that You will openup their eyes to see
that You have poured out Your love eternally...
And You know their hearts, and You search their thoughts,
so I trust You, Lord, with this day.

CHORUS
After all is said and done,
You will be the one who knows me
better than I know myself,
cause You made me,
and put this love within me,
and You will be the reason for it all.

BRIDGE
I cannot be responsible for other people?s actions.
Though it hurts me, I don?t wanna start another faction.
I choose forgiveness, confessing my reaction.
You are their God, too. And I trust You

CHORUS
After all is said and done,
You will be the one who knows me
better than I know myself,
cause You made me,
and put this love within me,
and You will be the reason for it all.
You will be the reason for it all.
