Lyrics
The Peace of a sleeping baby
The joy in a new mother's eyes
And the hope of a million tomorrows
Be found in your heart tonight
May the angels who sand glory
Be always at your side
And may you find in christ the saviour
The reason why
Glory Glory
Angels singing Joy and Peace
Glory Glory
Christ has come
To set the shepherd Free
May the Star shine bright this evening
To show you where He's laid
And if the Road is Long and You're Tempted
To give the search away
Know the King has also traveled
From a palace fair on high
May you find in Christ the Saviour
The reason why
Glory Glory
Angels singing Joy and Peace
Glory Glory
Christ has come
To set the Wise men Free
Glory Glory
Angels singing Joy and Peace
Glory Glory
Christ has come
To set the people Free

Meaning & Inspiration
The Reason Why retells the wonder of the Nativity through images of peace, joy, angels, shepherds, wise men, and the guiding star. Its blessing-like verses direct attention beyond the familiar scene to Christ the Savior, presented as the source of hope for every tomorrow. The recurring cry of glory joins the angelic announcement of joy and peace with the declaration that Christ has come to set people free.
The song follows the contours of the Gospel birth narratives without treating the search for Christ as effortless. A long road and the temptation to abandon it stand beside the sign of the star, while the King is pictured as having traveled from heaven to humanity. That contrast emphasizes divine humility and faithful seeking. The references to angels and shepherds closely reflect Luke 2, while the star and wise men recall Matthew 2. Together, these scenes frame the birth of Jesus as the reason for worship, perseverance, freedom, and enduring hope.
