This song is originally played on the piano, but I listened to it and created a
tab by ear. It might not be perfect; if you think something's wrong, please feel

C majorC
There are no words in times like these
FF
When tears won't hide the tragedies
A minorAm 
G+G FF
And all you want is a reason for the world
C majorC
No comfort in the greeting card
FF
Cause God is good, but life's still hard
A minorAm G+G FF
And your heart just wants a reason for the world
Chorus
Am/C (1st chorus only; all others C majorC)
But maybe the reason for the pain
G+G
Is so that we would pray for strength
FF
And maybe the reason for the strength
G+G
Is so that we would not lose hope
A minorAm
And maybe the reason for all hope
G/BG/B
Is so that we could face the world
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC FF A minorAm G+G FF
And the reason for the world is to make us long for home, home
For God so loved your broken heart
He sent His son to where you are
He died to give a reason for the world
So lift your sorrows to the One
Whose plan for you has just begun
And rests here in the hands that hold the world
Chorus
A minorAm
Well I know you're past the point of broken
G+G
Surrounded by your fear
FF
I know your feet are tired and weary
G+G
From the road you walk down here
C majorC
But just keep your eyes on heaven
G+G
And know that you are not alone
A minorAm G+G FF
Remember the reason for the world
No ear has heard, no eye has seen
Not even in your wildest dreams
The beauty that awaits beyond this world
When you look into the eyes of grace
And hear the voice of mercy say,
"Child, welcome to the reason for the world."
