The Reason For The World by Matthew West Song: The Reason For the World Artist: Matthew West Album: The Story of Your Life This song is originally played on the piano, but I listened to it and created a tab by ear. It might not be perfect; if you think something's wrong, please feel free to leave a comment! C There are no words in times like these F When tears won't hide the tragedies Am G F And all you want is a reason for the world C No comfort in the greeting card F Cause God is good, but life's still hard Am G F And your heart just wants a reason for the world Chorus Am/C (1st chorus only; all others C) But maybe the reason for the pain G Is so that we would pray for strength F And maybe the reason for the strength G Is so that we would not lose hope Am And maybe the reason for all hope G/B Is so that we could face the world Am G F C F Am G F And the reason for the world is to make us long for home, home For God so loved your broken heart He sent His son to where you are He died to give a reason for the world So lift your sorrows to the One Whose plan for you has just begun And rests here in the hands that hold the world Chorus Am Well I know you're past the point of broken G Surrounded by your fear F I know your feet are tired and weary G From the road you walk down here C But just keep your eyes on heaven G And know that you are not alone Am G F Remember the reason for the world No ear has heard, no eye has seen Not even in your wildest dreams The beauty that awaits beyond this world When you look into the eyes of grace And hear the voice of mercy say, "Child, welcome to the reason for the world." www.TAB6.com
