THERE’S A REASON TO LIVE
VERSE 1
On the other side the Savior stands,
But can you feel His outstretched hands?
He walks with you every single day;
His love for you never goes away.
CHORUS
There’s a reason to live!
There’s a reason to live!
There’s a reason to smile;
You’ve been loved all the while.
There’s a reason to live!
There’s a reason to live.
VERSE 2
Sometimes you feel so all alone.
Your pain is deep, and no one knows.
Your cries for help are kept inside,
But pray for Jesus Christ to be your guide.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You are much more than you know.
If you could look inside your soul…
(Your soul…)
One day you will know.
VERSE 3
Hold on to hope for one more day.
With faith in Christ, you’ll find your way.
Courage and power will come to you
To help you make your dreams come true.
FINAL CHORUS
There’s a reason to live!
(With faith in Christ who saves us all)
There’s a reason to live!
(Our dear Savior, He hears your call)
There’s a reason to smile;
You’ve been loved all the while.
There’s a reason to live!
(There’s a reason to live.)
There’s a reason to live.
There’s a reason to live.
Jesus wants you to live.
Please choose to live.
There’s a reason to live.
