A MILLION REASONS

A million reasons is not enough

To express our love to You,

Since You’re infinite with timeless value

And brilliant in all You do.

A million thanks cannot express

Our gratitude towards You,

When this feeble heart and soul of ours

Is inconsistent and fickle too.

If millions of stars could align themselves

To spell Your brilliance and majesty,

There still wouldn’t be enough

To span into eternity.

A million miles still falls short

If we were to travel to find You,

Since it’s the distance between our mind and heart

That will determine what is true.

A million friends can never fill

The void inside our soul,

Because it’s only You, the one true God

That can satisfy that hole.

A million dollars will not fulfil

Our temptations and desires too,

Because monetary value simply cannot buy 

The spiritual riches so true.

A million thanks will not suffice

Because You’re more worthy of same,

But at times it’s the best we can do

When our weakness it remains.

There’s still a million reasons 

For You to reject us all,

But Your tender grace and mercy

Forgives us when our name You call.

You’re our strong and mighty fortress

With millions of reasons to celebrate,

When our heart and soul is transformed within

And laden with love instead of hate.

There’s millions of reasons to thank You Lord

For the love You poured on us,

When You gave Your gift – Your only Son

That You loved so very much.

But it expresses Your grand love

And for this a million reasons will suffice,

Of our gratitude and thankful heart

Towards Jesus’ sacrifice.
