Easter is the Reason

[capo 1stfret] (A — Amaj7 — Bm/A — Dm/A)

(A) A little child, so (Amaj7) small and weak

So (Bm) similar to (A) you and me

We (D) know His story, (A) how it went

His (F#m) life amongst the (B7)poor

His (D) growing up in (A) troubled lands

Con(E)fronting all the (Asus) worst in (A) man

Yet (F#m) never ceasing (B7)to believe

His Father’s love was (Esus4)more…(E)

(A) More than able (Amaj7) to relieve

The (Bm/A) suffering He’d (A) daily see

And (D) as He grew from (A) child to man

He (F#m) watched and took it (B7) in

Then (D) following His (A) Father’s voice

He (E) made a good but (A) deadly choice

That (F#m) led Him on to (B7)Calvary

To save humani(Esus4)ty (E)

CHORUS:

(A) Easter is the (E) reason we have (A)Christmas

We (D) all love to see (E) Jesus as a (A) babe

But we (E) can’t forget He (D) came to (C#) suffer (F#m) violence

To (B7) give His life, then rise on Easter (E)Day

We (A) love the angels, (E) shepherds, star and (A)wise men

But (D) let’s remember (E) how that (D) came to (A) be

(Em7) You (A7) see, (D) Easter is the (D#dim*) reason we have (A/E) Christmas (F#m)

Some(Bm)one was born to (E) die for you and (A) me. [repeat intro]

So at (A) Christmas time we (Amaj7) celebrate

The (Bm/A) One who came to (A)liberate

The (D) day when God be(A)came a man

To (F#m) execute His (B7)plan

The (D) plan to save our (A) troubled race

So (E) on a cross He (Asus4) took our (A) place

It (F#m) all began in (B7) Bethlehem

When God became a (E) man

(A) Easter is the (E) reason we have (A)Christmas

We (D) all love to see (E) Jesus as a (A) babe

But we (E) can’t forget He (D) came to (C#) suffer (F#m) violence

To (B7) give His life, then rise on Easter (E)Day

We (A) love the angels, (E) shepherds, star and (A)wise men

But (D) let’s remember (E) how that (D) came to (A) be

(Em7) You (A7) see, (D) Easter is the (D#dim*) reason we have (A/E) Christmas (F#m)

Some(Bm)one was born to (E) die for you and (A) me.

(Em7) You (A7) see, (D) Easter is the (D#dim*) reason we have (A/E) Christmas (F#m)

Some(Bm)one was born to (E) die for you and (A) me.
