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.
