Late at night I wonder why - sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes I'm so tired I don't even try
Seems everything around me fails
But I hold on to the promise
That there is a reason
Late at night the darkness makes it hard to see
The history of the saints who've gone in front of me
Through famine, plague, and disbelief
His hand was still upon them
'Cause there is a reason
There is a reason
He makes all things good
He makes all things good
There's a time to live and a time to die
A time for wonder and to wonder why
'Cause there is a reason
'Cause there is a reason
There is a reason
I believe in the God who sent His only Son
To walk upon this world and give His life for us
With blood and tears on a long, dark night
I know that He believed
That there is a reason
There is a reason
He makes all things good
He makes all things good
There's a time to live and a time to die
A time for wonder and to wonder why
'Cause there is a reason
'Cause there is a reason
There is a reason
For the lonely nights and broken hearts
The widow's mite in the rich man's hand
And the continent whose blood becomes a traitor
For the child afraid to close their eyes
The prayers that seem unanswered -
There is a reason
There is a reason
(-Caedmon's Call)

Hi Aaron -- I check in at your blog once in a while (linked from the Parish's). I actually went there intentionally tonight wondering if any of your musings would touch on what we're facing right now. And there it was --- at "There Is a Reason." Thanks for posting it. You can go to our site (www.5mccrackens.blogspot.com - fairly newly set up by Kaylee) to read about the situation that set me to pondering and searching.
We look forward to getting to know you all better eventually.
Thanks again for the words you shared.
