OOC: Random moment in time...
Yes, so...I finally found the full lyrics to one of the songs that inspired the creation of Rebekah. I also found a copy of it. So now I have it! Whee! I first heard this song when I was a very small child, and I've been hunting for it forever...mainly because it has a lot of very personal memories and feelings tied to it. So, here are the lyrics for anyone interested:
We Are the Reason
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.
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.
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 crying in the rain!
All because of love, all because of love!
Oh, and 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 the reason for living;
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him.
In all that I do, every word that I say,
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him!
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 the reason to live...
He is my reason to live!
Don't you know we're the only reason
That He came? Oh, He came to save us!
When He gave His life for us, He suffered and died!
For a world that was lost He gave,
Everything that He had He gave
To show us the reason to live!
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 the reason to live!
Don't you know we're the only reason
That He came? Oh, He came to save us!
When He gave His life for us, He suffered and died!
For a world that was lost He gave,
Everything that He had He gave
To show us the reason to live!
