Just Because (Because You spoke to me...)

JUST BECAUSE

Under the bright blue sky of our spinning Earth pain, confusion, and disappointment often try to drag us down. But look up! ...and keep looking ahead!

O
ur brief testing-time will soon be over, and an eternity of "they lived happily ever after" assuredly awaits the Faithful.
In Romans 8:22-23 we read that "the whole creation is groaning and travailing in pain up to this present moment... and even we who have the firstfruits of the Spirit of God groan within ourselves, waiting for our new bodies and blessed adoption!" (paraphrased).

May this song, composed in 2017, encourage our hearts to that end!

Just Because (complete Lyrics)

1. Because You spoke to me from ancient Israel,
From a cross You called my name;
Twenty centuries have tried to still Your voice,
But I hear You just the same.
The devil rages across the ages, to defyle Your holy laws,
But I love You... Why do I love You? Just because, just because.
Because my heart's still beating, Because my God's entreating,
Because the world is pleading that I care, I'll care;
Because of sin assailing, Because of Grace prevailing,
In holy love travailing, Just because, just because, just because.

2. Because a flow'r is crushed beneath a sky of blue,
Because the stars shine, pure and bright,
Because children small still need a holding hand,
And a heartbeat in the night.
If mercy ceases, or sin increases, without pondering or pause
I will love You... Why will I love You? Just because, just because.
Because this world is dying, With men their God defying,
But hungry hearts are crying for Your Truth and Light,
Because Your Son has spoken, And still our world is broken,
You offer mercy to us, Just because, just because, just because.

3. Because the world's on fire, and ev'ry man's a fool
Until the Savior reigns within;
Because Time's a tool to show our true desire,
And to point our souls to Him;
"The test is over― Pass in your papers," and the soul to Judgment draws,
Then I'll see Him! And I will love Him, Just because, just because.
Because the hour is nearing Of all the saints a-cheering,
At Jesus Christ's appearing, To their glad applause;
Because of heavens quaking, And Heav'n and Earth remaking,

With saints to bliss awaking, Just because, just because, just because.

    Purpose of Blog

    Tips... Insights... Song-writing How-to... Critiques... Time-saving Methods... to help make YOU a joyful bard for the Lord.

    My best-known songs are probably "Lo, I Come"– composed before I was married– and "Teach Me, O Lord, to Number My Days" which you may have seen in various hymnals. I have many others trying to sneak out of their file folders, to join the march of music around the world.

    ​Some will be introduced here first as just lyrics, to study the crafting of their messages, others will have music mp3 files or videos also.
