Tom : C
G Am/F# B Em
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Dm7 G C G/B Am7
and all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
B Em Em/D
but we never realised a baby born one blessed
Em/C# Cmaj7 Am7 D7
night gave us the greatest gift of our lives
G Am/G
We are the reason that He gave His life
Dsus D G
we are the reason that He suffered and died
D/F# Em Am7
to a world that was lost, He gave all He could
D7 G
give to show us the reason to live
G Am/F# B Em
As the years go by we learned more about gifts
Dm7 G C G/B Am7
giving of ourselves and what that means
B Em Em/D
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying
Em/C# Cmaj7 Am7 D7
in the rain because of love, because of love
Eb Bb/D
I've finally found a reason for living,
Bbm Ab/C
it's in giving every part of my heart to Him
Abm/B Eb/Ab Cm7
In all that I do, every word that I say
F Ab E
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
Amaj7 Bm7/A
And we are the reason that He gave His life
Bm/Ab G/C# F#m7 A
we are the reason that He suffered and died
Dmaj9 A/C#
to a world that was lost
Bm Bm7/A
He gave all He could give
Bm/Ab G/C# F#m Fmaj7
to show us the reason to live
D A
He is my reason to live
