The idea behind the song was a prayerful reflection between God and yourself with God doing most of the speaking. For the times in your life when you haven't been the best of disciples and doubts flood your senses and you keep questioning God's love.
Story behind the song
The inspiration for Just Because came from a faith-filled tribute I witnessed at my Uncles wake given by his daughter, my cousin. As a Deacon in the church, he was great at modeling how our heavenly Father loves.
Thank you Uncle John for your witness, may you rest in the peace of our Lord forever.
Lyrics
JUST BECAUSE
Verse
You may not know me but I know everything about you
You live south of heaven, betraying my commandments
You sit and wonder, faith alone or something more and say
My Lord and my God, how can you love me?
Lift
Just because
Chorus
My heart needs no other reason,
I Am the lover and you are My Beloved
I love you, just because
I do
Verse
I offer you more than your earthly father ever could
I will heal your flaws; give you no reason to pause
Ill take away all you suffer - what do you say?
Oh but my Lord, my God, how can you love me?
Lift
Just because
Chorus
My heart needs no other reason,
I Am the lover and you are My Beloved
I love you, just because
I do
Bridge
Dont think just because I am the Son of God, I love, I love
I love so sons of man may become sons of God, above
Lift
Just because
Chorus
My heart needs no other reason,
I Am the lover and you are My Beloved
I love you, just because
I do
