There Is A Reason
For every pain we must bear.
For every burden, every care.
There is a Reason.
For every grief that bows the head
For every teardrop that is shed
There is a Reason.
For every hurt, for every plight
For every lonely pain-racked night
There is a Reason.
But if we trust God, as we should
It will turn out for good.
He knows the Reason.
