Story behind the song

I believe our Lord gave us faith knowing fully that doubts are the children of faith and it's our task to bring our children up straight. Faith without doubts = knowledge, and to be strong in knowledge is no task at all. That's why we often search for :'There Must Be A Reason' to things that happens to us and the world around us, the way we feel as our faith fights with our doubts as we stumble along life's highway. Just my humble thoughts. Hope you like both the lyrics and the song as a whole. Jan

Lyrics

THERE MUST BE A REASON

It's Christmas Day your birthday Lord
And I can't stop wondering why
You were born to carry the cross
To Calvary to be crucified

there must be a reason why your destiny
shackled your soul before setting it free

Each candle lit on Christmas Day
Will burn out one by one I know
Yet when the narrow path's too steep
You give me strength to go on somehow

there must be a reason why You return
to light more candles for me to burn

THERE MUST BE A REASON WHY
MY FAITH KEEPS DOUBTS AT BAY
A REASON WHY MY FAITH CAN FIGHT
AS I STUMBLE THROUGH THE NIGHT
AND A REASON WHY MY FAITH WILL WIN OUTRIGHT
COME EVERY CHRISTMAS DAY

Christmas Day brings back memories
Of the past and loved ones I've lost
But I know come my twilight hour
You'll be there when I need you most

there must be a reason why Heaven's light
dimmed by day shines so brightly at night

THERE MUST BE A REASON WHY
MY FAITH KEEPS DOUBTS AT BAY
A REASON WHY MY FAITH CAN FIGHT
AS I STUMBLE THROUGH THE NIGHT
AND A REASON WHY MY FAITH WILL WIN OUTRIGHT
COME EVERY CHRISTMAS DAY
COME EVERY CHRISTMAS DAY
(C) 2003 Jan Johansen/Randy Thorderson
