I've seen hard times and I've been told   There isn't any wonder that I fall   Why do we suffer, crossing off the years   There must be a reason for it all      I've trusted in You, Jesus, to save me from my sins   Heaven is the place I call my home   But I keep on getting caught up in this world I'm living in   And Your voice, it sometimes fades before I know      Hurtin' brings my heart to You, crying with my need   Depending on Your love to carry me   The love that shed His blood for all the world to see   This must be the reason for it all      Hurtin' brings my heart to You, a fortress in the storm   When what I wrap my heart around is gone   I give my heart so easily to the ruler of this world   When the one who loves me most will give me all      In all the things that cause me pain, You give me eyes to see   I do believe but help my unbelief      I've seen hard times and I've been told   There is a reason for it all
