What is the reason, Lord for grace- oh why
give grace that gives heaven to sinful man?
I know the reason is love from on high.
As I see men kill others on the fly,
all for no other reason than "they can,"
what is the reason, Lord, for grace- oh why?
And then I see your pain as you still try
to save this weak, pitiful people, and
I know the reason is love from on high.
But what of man's own cares, that till they die
all they do is you from their lives they ban?
What is the reason, Lord, for grace- oh why?
I hear the haunting, yet forgiving cry
of Christ's last breath, and the completed plan.
I know the reason is love from on high.
What is the reason, Lord, for grace- oh why?
I know, the reason is love from on high.
