Lyrics

Verse 1

Billows may run high
Tempests sweep the sky
Your word's the reason
My feet stand unshaken
Enjoying regal freedom
By your grace, Lord
And at the centre of your will
I find my rest


Chorus

You are the reason I live
Son of God, your life you gave for me
Ascended Lord, my advocate
For your pleasure, I live
You are the reason for life
You're before all things
Your pre-eminence
Is throughout the ages

You are the reason I live
Son of God, your life you gave for me
Ascended Lord, my advocate
For your pleasure, I live
You are the reason for life
You're before all things
Your pre-eminence
Is throughout the ages
You are the essence of life


Verse 2

By your amazing grace
We're joint heirs with you
Given an inheritance
That can never fade
Your loving kindness
More than the mind can fathom
You are just, my Lord and God
Righteous Father


Chorus

You are the reason I live
Son of God, your life you gave for me
Ascended Lord, my advocate
For your pleasure, I live
You are the reason for life
You're before all things
Your pre-eminence
Is throughout the ages

You are the reason I live
Son of God, your life you gave for me
Ascended Lord, my advocate
For your pleasure, I live
You are the reason for life
You're before all things
Your pre-eminence
Is throughout the ages
You are the essence of life

You are the essence of life
