I have always been inspired by the song "We were the reason" by David Meece written in the 70s/80s ?. It is one of the most beautiful songs I know about Jesus being born (on Christmas day ? ) to die for us on the cross. For years, I loved that song said within my heart that one day, I will also write a song like that. Well, 20 years later, here is my song written along the same theme but with a greater focus on the cross. Jesus loved me so much that He came to die for me.

Verse 1
D Dmaj7/C#
He hung upon the rugged cross
D7/C
He bore my shame
B
And His blood flowed from
Em
His pierced hands,
Em7/D
His pierced feet,
A
His pierced side
Bm A
I'm the reason why He came,

Verse 2
D Dmaj7/C#
He bore the stripes, upon His back
D7/C B
He took upon Himself
Em
The sin of humanity,
Em7/D
To bring us liberty
A
To set us free,
Bm A
I'm the reason why He came
Bm A
I'm the reason why He died
D
I'm the reason why.

Chorus:-
G D/F#
His love is such a mystery
F#/C# Bm
A God would come to die for me
G A Bm A
I'm the reason why He came
G D/F#
My mind just cannot comprehend
F#/C# Bm A G
That God would stretch His loving hand.......for me
Em A D
I'm the reason why He came

Verse 3.
Mercy flowed , from the Father's throne
When He saw the blood
Of His only Son,
The veil was torn,
The vic'try's won
New lives are born
Wrath and anger, turned to grace,


Verse 4.
For God so loved the world He gave
His only Son,
And whoever will believe in Him
They will receive eternal life
I'm the reason why He came
I'm the reason why He died
I'm the reason why.

Repeat chorus.
