The Reason
Rediscovering Purpose: A Journey of Redemption and Faith
Lyrics
Oh the pride and the ego used to run my life
Reflecting on a past where pride and ego controlled the speaker's life.
It's hard for me to say, but I was finally flat
Admitting difficulty in acknowledging personal flaws, reaching a low point.
All the power and the glory, yeah I had it all
Recalling a time of possessing power, glory, and material success.
Oh, the selfishness, that's where I was at
Acknowledging a past marked by selfish behavior.
I forgot who I was
Expressing a sense of self-forgetfulness, losing one's true identity.
Lord you know I forgot you
Recognizing a period of spiritual forgetfulness, neglecting a connection with a higher power.
But you never forgot me
Acknowledging divine remembrance despite personal neglect.
No you never forgot me
Reiterating the enduring nature of divine remembrance.
Calling
Referring to a divine call or guidance.
Is in your hands, you've given everything to me
Acknowledging the divine role in providing everything to the speaker.
Lord you are the reason I stand here today
Attributing the speaker's standing to the divine, expressing gratitude.
Lifting my voice, raising you up, cos I believe
Engaging in worship and praise, expressing belief in a higher power.
Oh I believe I'm nothing, nothing without you
Acknowledging dependence on the divine, emphasizing humility.
All my second chances, they were not deserved
Reflecting on undeserved opportunities, emphasizing divine mercy.
Why you never gave up, it's a mystery
Questioning the divine persistence despite the speaker's shortcomings.
My strength is my faith and my faith is in you
Identifying faith as the source of strength, attributing faith to the divine.
Now I understand it's not about me
Realizing a shift in perspective, understanding life's purpose beyond oneself.
I'll not waste another day
Expressing a commitment to making each day meaningful.
Lord use me as you will
Offering oneself for divine use, surrendering to a higher purpose.
I surrender all
Reiterating a complete surrender to the divine will.
I surrender all
Emphasizing a total and unconditional surrender.
Calling
Repeating the theme of divine calling and guidance.
Is in your hands, you've given everything to me
Recognizing the divine's generous giving and provision.
Lord you are the reason I stand here today
Reaffirming the divine as the reason for the speaker's current state.
Lifting my voice, raising you up, cos I believe
Continuing to express devotion and praise, grounded in belief.
Oh I believe I'm nothing, nothing without you
Reiterating a profound sense of dependence on the divine.
Nothing without you
Emphasizing absolute reliance on the divine, reinforcing humility.
Nothing without you
Concluding with a repetition of the theme of dependence on the divine.
