My lovely bride to be was an instrumental part of God’s plan for my life, as she was able to break through my atheistic façade and really affect change in my heart. She has had the light of the Lord shining in her heart since she was three. And I am extremely thankful she was brought into my life to share that light with me.
For some reason, Hoobastank and their songs have resonated in my heart and reminded me of certain times in my own life. I’ve had their new album for a few months now and ever since I heard this song, it’s made me think of that time around when we met.
My idealistic/romantic side wants to give all the credit to her for giving me a reason to change my life, while theologically I know that’s not the case. But I do love this song and more importantly I love the Lord for brining me such a perfect partner to share my love and zeal for Him with!
The Reason - Hoobastank (The Reason, 2003)
i'm not a perfect person. there are many things i wish i didnt do
but i continue learning. i never meant to do those things to you.
and so i have to say before i go, that i just want you to know
i've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you
i'm sorry that i hurt, its something i must live with everyday
and all the pain i put you through, i wish that i could take it all away
and be the one who catches all your tears, thats why i need you to hear
i'm not a perfect person, i never meant to do those things to you
and so i have to say before i go that i just want you to know
i've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you
i've found a reason to show a side of me you didnt know
a reason for all that i do, and the reason is you
