I’m not a big fan of Christmas, one reason is songs are confined to two months of the year, really some should be around all year. We Are The Reason by David Meece from Are You Ready? (1980) is one song that is a year-round reminder.

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn’,
And all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find,
But we never realised how a baby born one blessed night,
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives.

Yes, there’s Christmas. Yes, there’s a baby. But this is not a Christmas only song.

We were the reason that He gave his life,
We were the reason that He suffered and died,
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give,
To show us the reason to live.

Remember that every day of the year. It’s one of my favourite choruses because it’s so easy to remember, and gives me so much to think about.

I’ve finally found the reason for living,
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him,
In all that I do every word that I say,
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him.
