The Reason
Verse 1
When I wake-up in the AM I say “Good morning God”/
I know they think I’m crazy but I don’t care at all/
If they knew you like I do they’d be obsessed just the same/
You make me feel so high I can’t get you out my brain/
Words fail to convey what I’m always tryna say/
Like a man born deaf reading bout a symphony/
Like a man born in cage, tryna imagine being free/
Like a man born blind scoffing at a masterpiece/
And I get it used to live it used to be all 3/
Born dead, used to hate God, wanna escape God, now I praise God/
My birth defect preset reset He let me see/
I was flatline dead now my heartbeats/

Hook
Jesus you are/
The reason that I/
Even wanna life at all:/
You satisfy/

Verse 2
I’m a broken record hoping that you open letters/
From the Shepherd of our souls, til it’s black & white like checkers/
I been saying for a minute that I didn’t used to get it/
Cuz I thought God was a killjoy, now I know He real joy/
And when I was younger I was terrified of death/
Subconscious drone of panic, tried to numb it out my head/
Now my dread all gone, it’s crazy I know/
Tears of joy in my eyes when I think about Home/
And my wedding day was bliss but it don’t even come close/
The way I wanted that’s a shadow of how I’m eager to go/
So, am I deluded or proof that Lucifer’s losing?/
I’m the latter you should view the blood-splattered Crucifix, choose Him/
Ima never die be forever satisfied/
Reconciled to God with the fam in paradise/
So though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death/
My soul’s kept by the One who rose, with every breath sing/
