Lyrics
VERSE 1
You’re the center of my attention
The only thing I want is you
You’re focus of my affection
The only thing I want is you 2x
CHORUS
You’re the reason I'm here
You’re the reason I'm here
You’re the reason that my hearts still singing
You’re the reason I breathe
You’re the reason I dream
You’re the reason that my life has meaning
VERSE 2
I was searching, I was hiding
I was desperately in need of you.
So you left Heaven to come and find me
Oh, where would I be if not for you
Oh, where would I be if not for you
BRIDGE
For all my days
My soul will say
Always and Only Jesus.
Forevermore
My heart is yours
Always and Only Jesus.

Meaning & Inspiration
The Reason presents Jesus as the central object of devotion, affection, and hope. Its opening confession narrows every desire toward him, while the chorus connects his presence with purpose, breath, dreams, and a life that still has reason to sing. The language is personal without becoming self-sufficient: meaning is received from Christ rather than created by circumstance.
The second verse moves from searching and hiding to being found through Jesus’ descent from heaven. That movement closely reflects the New Testament picture of Christ coming to seek and save the lost. The bridge then turns rescue into lifelong allegiance, repeating that the soul and heart belong to Jesus alone. Together, these sections portray worship as a response to divine initiative: Christ finds the needy, gives life its meaning, and becomes the enduring focus of praise.
