Why do we suf fer,

(D)There must be a rea son for it all.

I’ve (A)trust ed in You, Je sus,

to (D)save me (E)from my sins.

(Bm7)Heav en (A)is the place I call my home.

But I keep on get ting caught up in this (D)world I’m liv ing in,

and Your (D)voice, it some times fades be fore I know.

(F#m7)Hurt ing brings my heart to (D)You,

(E)cry ing with my need,

de (F#m7)pend ing on Your love to car ry me.

The (A)love that shed His blood

for (D)all the (E)world to see,

(D)this must be the rea son for it all.

(F#m7)Hurt ing brings my heart to (D)You, a (E)for tress in the storm

when (F#m7)what I be wrap my heart my a round is gone.

I (A)give my heart so eas i ly to the (D)rul er (E)of this world,

when the (D)One who loves me most will give me all.

In

I’ve seen hard times,

and I’ve been told

there is a rea son for it all.
