There is a story of long ago. Men roamed in darkness, nowhere to go. One day the scene changed, They ceased to cry There was a reason Jesus passed by. Glory and honor be to the King. Shout Hallelujah, make praises ring. Look to the future home in the sky. There is a reason Jesus passed by. Men found compassion, hungry were fed, Some saw their loved ones raised from the dead. They found great comfort came from on high Chords - There was a reason Jesus passed by. Glory and honor be to the King. Shout Hallelujah, make praises ring. Look to the future home in the sky. There is a reason Jesus passed by. One day a sinner, I found relief. Gone was my burden, gone was my grief. Angels were singing and so was I Chords - There was a reason Jesus passed by.
