In 2002 AKUS performed this beautiful Christian song written by guitarist Ron Block. As of 2012, at the age of 40, Alison had won 27 Grammys. The lyrics of this song can be viewed at: www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/alison...

I just lost my daughter to a fentanyl overdose on the 12th of May (2024) and struggling to find a reason for it all. I listen to this song which I've done for years now to reach a few minutes of memory and beauty that she was on earth. 'Til I see her again it's what I have to hold onto. Alison's voice and the harmonies of this incredible band give me some solace for a few minutes.
@eaglerare22 I'm so sorry for your loss, Anthony. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, will see you through this, and after we leave this vale of darkness and tears He will explain how she fit into His plan; her experience and yours were not in vain, and you will understand then. Until then, keep telling Jesus your feelings and asking for Grace for the day. He knows your thoughts and wants you to be honest; submitting to His love will strengthen you. I recommend you read Ron Block's book "Abiding Dependence: Living Moment-By-Moment In the Love of God":

Pure musicianship at its finest. No gimmicks or prancing around the stage like clowns. Just a bunch of great musicians playing their instruments and singing. She has the voice of an angel.
indeed !
@@tWoforgamenot1 So agree! Just love this one! Wish they'd do something together again as AKUS! :)
@@stardate984 yes me too and i told her so :)
so beautiful it is ! :) Angel She Is ! :)
I would just like to say, plain and simple, her voice is of the most beautiful I've ever heard, and the harmonies are absolutely lovely.
Amy Grant is right up there, too. (Also, check out Claire Lynch. Her voice is similar to Alison's, but more delicate.)
This is possibly my all time favorite song of all time, across all genres.
I am a big fan of Alison and have met her at a bluegrass festival. Listen to “ Eva Cassidy” for she has a beautiful voice as well. Unfortunately she passed away before her music became known worldwide.
Ron Block's lyrics are so beautiful- you don't have to be a Christian to be touched by this. This song resonates right into the human soul.
This song saved me during a very dark period in my life. My boss harrassed me daily, and I was literally suicidal. I would sometimes listen to this song all day at work. I don't have any tattoos, but if I ever got one, it would say, "There is a reason...." It would remind me why I need to keep going.
Immeasurable peace and beauty. Chokes me every time. They are all touched by the Lord.
Yes so beautiful.
Ron Block's life story is a fairy tale.
The world is struggling to fight the unseen enemy, and tears starts to fall while watching and listening to an angels voice!... Please our Lord heal the world, forgive us🙏🏽 PLEASE!. 😢
So sweet!
Same here.. the World has lost it's way and there is a path out of all this. We must open our hearts and let it happen. Reach out to others and help us allow the truth to shine.forth.
At this point in my life I’ve come to realize that life is (and always was) just a collection of memories; a composition of emotional states that lead nowhere, but were enjoyable along the journey.
The one who loves me , and loves me most, knows the reason for it all.
We’re safe in His all knowing.
Tina Campbell: A 3-years old child who is repeatedly restrained from running into a busy street feels angry and unloved, sometimes screaming, "I hate you!" to the one who loves him/her more than life.
The Ron Block solo is incredible! I sometimes forget the song but look for the solo. Good grief! He's talented.
Tears. One of the most beautiful songs they have done.
This song says it all about one's relationship with Jesus Christ. We turn to everything that glitters when His perfect love is right in front of us.
The Bible says a New Creation. Born Again. Old passes away.
Best song EVER! Thank you Ron Block.
best song , ever....what lyrics - this makes my heart full and Alison and band just brings it all home for me. So SO good.!! Thanks for posting this.
John Robert Hanna: My pleasure. God bless you.
A beautiful song performed by one incredible lady. She has a voice of an angel. Thank you for posting this.
agree . :)
Now I know why I love her music so much. Good songs, and here, a beautiful message...
Forgiving yourself is a gift from Him. Find peace in your heart and let the love pour in.
Some say life is short. I say that life is infinite. It all depends on where you choose to spend it.
This song helped me through a difficult time in my life. The more I listened to the song, the easier it was to heal. Thank you.
Her voice is like velvet.
Certainly blessed.
I went through the same thing just a year after we married my wife left me.I can tell you this,God is Great,He will restore you and give you back everything that you have lost.I thought that part of me died when she left.I cried out to God every night and it seemed that He wasn't listening to me. But God works on His time.My family is stronger and closer to God now than we were.I will pray for you and your wife But let God do what God doe's best.Be GOD.
Thank you Ron. We lost our oldest son in the wee morning hours of May 27, 2019, he was 39, taken in a one car accidnt and he left behind a Stay at Home Widowed Mother and four Children. This song makes me think of him, as we struggle to find The Reason For It All.
Something like that tragedy is something I cannot ever imagine. My heart goes out to you and I pray that time has eased the heartache, a little bit. Prayers from Ireland. Gerry Farry.
By far my favorite song by Alison Krauss. So uplifting !
I accepted the Lord into my heart when I was 31. I just turned 49 and it's been the best life ever. When we have difficult times in our lives, it's only trials that the Lord wants' us to face. He tests our faith and he only wants us to love Him even more. Daily things in our lives can keep us apart, try and remember Him as our day goes on. Be much as devoted as you can. He stretched out His arms for all of us on the cross and is waiting for us to walk into his arms there. May god bless all!
Remember he is the God of the mountain and in the valley’s.
anyone with a real "musical ear" can hear that this is, without a doubt,,,awesome. The music, the vocals,,the harmony. Makes my goosebumps get goosebumps
I've Loved Allison since she was 15.❤
Alison Krauss and the musicians who play with her are true geniuses. How can you improve on what they do? Just amazing.
This song has meant so much to me. I used to listen to it over and over again when we lived in East Tennessee. I'd stand in front of the kitchen window doing dishes, sort of zoning out, and sing along with this song. I'd ask God to tell me the reason. I feel like He has answered me. I am much more at peace now. Thank you.
I had the chance to see Allison and her wonderful group live and they did this song. Ron wrote a gem and all of us who were their that night got to see her do justice to it.
Thank-you for positng
Discovered this song during a very very rough time in our family. Very uplifting. Appreciate your commitment to edifying the name of Christ here as well.
There IS A REASON. She doesn't question it. Amen!
I've never heard this song before but I found it today and I truly believe it's because God knows I need this message right now. Please, Lord, give me grace and peace whilst I walk the road I walk right now. Amen.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The vocals, including harmonies, the instrumentation, as well as the song's message leave me absolutely speechless. I listen to the song over and over again and never grow tired of it. Thank you to Ron Block for writing this beautiful hymn; the world needs this so much!💕
As a 58-year Christian, I can see many of the reasons, which helps me through new trials. My favorite story came from a friend, who one morning "lost" his car keys. After running to the car in pouring rain, not seeing them there, and running back to the house, he "found" them in his coat pocket. On the way to work, he approached an intersection that was normally bumper-to-bumper traffic, his brakes failed, and he crossed on red with not a car in sight. Had he found the keys on "his time"...
Appreciate you comments and totally agree. I love Alison and Union Station just wonderful music, She truly has the voice of an angel and when she sings the world at least for a moment seems like a peaceful and loving place.
Thank you, Sharon!
the blood that Jesus shed will never lose it's power, beautiful words to this song, well wrote Ron.
OK, I admit: I'm addicted to Alison Krauss.
This girl is amazing and also are all the other guys of this band.
This song has so much meaning for me. Going through some sorrowful and rough times right now. Thank you, Alison, for sharing your music with us all. It is a great comfort for me.
The One who loves you most will carry you through....Faith...
God Bless you stating that comment, the world is needing to be reminded we need to be thankful for everything we have and not what we want. And that goes out to even the people without faith, I pray for a better day for everyone!
I've seen hard times and I've been told
There isn't any wonder that I fall
Why do we suffer, crossing off the years
There must be a reason for it all
I've trusted in You, Jesus, to save me from my sin
Heaven is the place I call my home
But I keep on getting caught up in this world I'm living in
And Your voice it sometimes fades before I know
Hurtin' brings my heart to You, crying with my need
Depending on Your love to carry me
The love that shed His blood for all the world to see
This must be the reason for it all
Hurtin' brings my heart to You, a fortress in the storm
When what I wrap my heart around is gone
I give my heart so easily to the ruler of this world
When the one who loves me most will give me all
In all the things that cause me pain You give me eyes to see
I do believe but help my unbelief
I've seen hard times and I've been told
There is a reason for it all
Yes john
Perfect.
❤
the most beautiful female voice i have ever heard. what a blessing to be alive in this music era. God bless you alison, at this rate you will soon have your 32nd grammy, which will be well deserved!! peace be with you!!
we went through the same thing just a year after we married my wife left me.I can tell you this,God is Great,I thought that part of me died when she left.I cried out to God every night and it seemed that He wasn't listening to me.Not only did he give my wife back a few years later but He gave me more than I deserve. My family is stronger and closer to God now than we were.I will pray for you But letGod do what God doe's best.Be GOD.
Proof that God sent Angels to testify to those who've been created "a little lower" than angels.
Thank you Father!
I'm not religious but every time I hear this song it gives me a chance to reflect and ask forgiveness. Thanks Alison for keeping it real.
Go for it Sid. Stand your ground bro. Alison is one of my fav singers.
+Johnny Jalin Thanks, Johnny.
There is a reason, God created Alison to help me deal with life and get through the hard times, her music soothes my soul. I thank God for Alison & Union Station.
Evan Gelist My thoughts as well.
Thank you for standing up for your space
What a beautiful way to express what every one of us as Christians go through every day, We want to be more like Christ but the world slips in, thankfully, we have a Savior that has infinite mercy for thouse who call on Jesus name. After all there are two kinds of people in this world "Lost sinners ," and Saved sinners." Alison and the Station Guys music are a great help and reminder in a powerful way of what we strtive for. Thanks for shairing this song!
Thank you for your touching comment. As the father of a woman who has been treated for cancer, and as a 59-year Christian and Bible student, I can assure you that everything that happens in the life of a Christian is designed to make him/her more like Christ (Romans 8:28-29), which glorifies God. I believe one of the sweetest things about Eternity will be sitting at Jesus' feet and listening as He explains how our trials fit into His master plan. God bless you and Teresa.
Bless you!
So true, amen.
Alisons songs are very inspiring to me.. they lift me up when I am not doing right in my life..her songs have such meaning to me.they give me hope that i will be okay..
Awesome Lyrics, beautiful song, hey everyone enjoy the song, y'all have a great and excellent 2024.
I'm so happy that there are so many Christian country singers that are willing and able the share the gospel through song. Thank you Alison for some great music. God has give you a great gift.
Praise the Lord! Love the lyrics and Alison's lovely voice.
Very good song and very nice to enjoy. THe singer also is very beautiful. Thanks Lord for this beautiful song. I give 10 to this song.
This song really touched my heart ❤ I love Alison Krauss and her amazing voice, she sings like an ANGEL.💖🤗💖🤗💖👏👋👋👋👍👍
I am a jewish believe in GOD but still this song is lovely, and Alison Krauss is amazing, so touching voice, like angels have touched her voice, and WOW she is beautiful too.... thank you for sharing this video with us.
You're welcome, SnirOrr, and thanks for your delightful comment. I will forever be grateful to your family for The Lion of the tribe of Judah. (Hosea 5:14; Revelation 5:5) I am pleased you did not omit the "O" in "GOD". I understand the reason for omission, but, as a logophile and philologist, I find omitting a vowel puzzling, when there are no vowels in Hebrew, so if the goal is not to completely spell His name, I question whether that goal has been achieved. I'm sure it is a forced act, as omitting "G" or "D" would result in some readers not recognizing the word. Shalom, my friend.
This lady has a beautiful voice and great band
Beautiful song and band God bless them and keep them safe
What a song. What a sound. The voice of an Angel. Thank you Alison. Keep singing to us. We love you so much.........
It's been a while since I've been on here, but I totally appeciate your stand for the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Before long though, I'm sure that the pressure will be greater. But thanks be to GOD, HE said that HE wouldn't put any more on us, than we could take. GOD BLESS!!
My friend, don't let them get to you. Keep your faith and hold it strong. I'm not Christian, but I believe in his message. And I believe that Alison Krauss has the voice, literally, of an angel here on earth. Beautiful song.
You cannot look and God's creation, and not believe.
Thank U Sir - I don't call many people sir unless they truly deserve it - Alison is a super beautiful/talented lady & I wish her & Her family all good things - Bravo you are all super people ..
One of my favorites of Alisons and brings tears of joy to me when I hear this one! She is a blessing to us all. Thank you!
I play this at least once a week. What a consolation it is, every time! Thank you so much for sharing it! God bless!
I love Jesus, I love Alison K, and I love Sid's positive stand.
3pigsfly Thank you!!!
4 Am in Boston I am about to take a walk in the snow ..Irs simply beautiful out there can't watch it another second from my window ... one of God's gifts l and I don't want miss it.
I will be singing this sing out there it feel like it's perfect for this moment in time while also remembering , counting and thanking God for my blessings and praying 🙏 for everyone during this hard and uncertain times in our world.🌏
And for Allison Krause who is like an angel.amomgst us 🙏
Alison gives the gift God gave her to lift us all up. Thank you for sharing.
So very true!
Please note, the writer of this song is a member of the Union Station Band, Ron Block, a brilliant guitar player and songwriter.
This is good to know. I love to see the writers get the respect they truly deserve.
Thank you for your stand. There is too much of all that in the world, as you say. I am a Christian, and I don't expect everyone to believe as I do, but there is no call for stirring up antipathy and intolerance in a place where we're just trying to enjoy beautiful music whose theme we happen to share.
She's a lady
He is the reason for it all....my Father, my God, my Jesus, my Rock. I give my heart so easily to the Ruler of this World, the one who loves me most of all.
I see this was 5 years ago now, but... I think the lyrics "ruler of this world" refer to Satan; if you look at the context (and correct words): "When what I wrap my heart around is gone
I give my heart so easily to the ruler of this world
When the one who loves me most will give me all." Our hearts are prone to wander, and as others have commented/prayed "Lord, help our unbelief." :)
Amen
When it comes from the heart the way AK sings it EVERY time, religion goes completely out the window, no matter what the words may refer to. Beauty is beauty, and the message in this song is just as beautiful as the one who is singing it. This is truly an amaaaaazing song.
One of the most moving sacred songs written and performed in many many years. So right on
This song is one of the best explanations of the reason for pain and suffering in our lives. I have been drawn closer to God during the most difficult times of my life and the lyrics really explain my experience. Love Allison Krauss and Union Station also. Wish everyone could understand and I think this song helps.
Alison has the voice of an angel. Beautiful song and message. t.y. for uploading.
Beautiful. Be Thou My Vision sung by her is unbelievable
God blessed us with the rain we've been praying for - bless His holy Name!!!
I've always loved Alison's music! Thank you!
Carole Hammonds: You're welcome.
I do believe but help my unbelief 💔😢
When honestly directed to Christ Jesus, Son of YHWH, that is a prayer that will be answered (Mark 9:23-29). Jesus said that if we ask Him to move a mountain and did not doubt that He would, He would move it. Of course, one cannot make such a ridiculous request without thinking something like, "Ain't 'gonna happen," so His pledge is incorruptible. In sensible matters of actual need, He will not fail when we approach Him humbly with the attitude you have expressed with the quote. And, speaking from experience, the unexpected way His answer many times is delivered reinforces our faith and makes it easier for us to believe.
Beautifully said above. I had the honor to meet Allison twice over the years Truly love her raw voice, a lot of voice for a little lady. She is a sweet soul and very gifted. Thanks for sharing your story and this song. God bless. xxxx Dennis.
this song hit me in the face like a hammer when i needed to hear it ,, there is a reason for every thing even the things we dont see or under stand , thank you jesus
Her beautiful voice is just good for what ails ya! It seems even"healing" to me. I love that she's humble and unassuming. I hope she's a Christian; she's too much like an angel not to end up in heaven with other angels!
Listen to "Living Prayer" the passion in her voice goes so much deeper then just professionalism
One of my criterion for judging a song to be truly great is its ability to make me cry. More than once. This is a truly great song, with deep, deep meaning regarding our innate spiritual longings and struggles. And I cannot imagine anyone, or any group, more perfectly suited to communicate its message. Thank you Ron!
I thought I was alone in falling apart every time I listen to this beautiful song. Surely there must be many who need to listen to such a gem, if only to act as a balm to the suffering .
For many years I have found peace and quiet with Allison's music. I have much pain in my life and I can identify with what she says.
what a beautiful song.......one of my top 5 for sure!
alison has one of the sweetest vocals i have ever heard
Allison and Union Station are quite simply wonderful. Ron Blocks songs are heartfelt and full of meaning, sweet melodys and harmonys. I am a humanist, but that does not stop me from loving Rons songs. You do not have to believe to simply listen. All songs are to a certain extant make believe, if it strikes a chord with you then that is all that matters. Christian or not, this is simply wonderful. I hope this will not upset you, even unbelievers can appreciate the sentiments behind this lovely and thoughtfull song
What a beautiful song - I am a huge fan of Allison and of Ron's and this touched my heart! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Open you soul to hear Gods message. May His light fill the voids in your life. Heaven be your home forever.
Love this song!
Like the early morning sunlight pouring through the stained glass windows of a little chapel in the country.......Alison's voice is straight from Heaven, a gift from our Lord!
Amen ! I never get tired of her voice: you can't get tired of pure fresh water...
Can't listen to it let alone watch this, without welling up. Truly beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful I know the Lord has to be looking down from heaven and smiling..
His hand has to be on this lady.
Just love her.
Thanks for the video.
Just a nice message, remember to give yourself a chance a reason to live life with understanding and forgiveness. We get so complacent in our everyday lives we forget the miracle of life, that love brought us here. Happy Easter!
What a blessing this video is for me. Thank You I am consecrated to Christ and his Word as a Secular Franciscan. Tomorrow I go for another infusion of Entyvio while fighting severe Crohn's Disease that almost cost my life 2 times in the last year. Yes there is a reason for it all. Amen. Blessed Christmas to all. Pax et Bonum!
The fundamental reason for everything is to bring glory to God, simultaneously growing a love relationship between Christ Jesus and His chosen ones. May He, The Great Physician, give you faith to worship and serve Him as you cope with this disease and all the other strife in this fallen world, as we patiently wait for Him to take us to be with Him. Peace and good to you.
SidsCardShop Had Latin? I had SSND's for 9 years (K+8) and Jesuits for 8.
(Prep & Univ. Went through 4 years of Latin in 2; the homeroom teachers had to improvise for Jr & Sr years - we translated Ovid & the nut who thought he could fly until the sun ruined his plans. Our peers called us the "Brain Room" behind our backs. I also had 2 religious in my Mom's family. So I guess you can guess what my background is.)
I am an ex-christian and this song chokes me up every time. It is so pertinent to many of us.
Dear Ed, my Soul hurt when I read ex-Christian...what happened to cause that? I pray you reconsider....
An amazing song by amazing artists. Every note is planned and intended to make the song even more whole and the lyrics touch the soul. A good song.
I am not a Christian or Catholic. Alison's singing creates the link between my god and me...lovely singing. God bless her and bless you for uploading this.
Catholics are Christians. It's not one or the 'tother...
Beautiful song, even more beautiful message ...
Boy, did I need that song today. Praise Your Name, Jesus!!!
This song is so very beautiful,& I'm just hearing it for the 1st time! I want to Dedicate it to my dear friend Teresa who is fighting luekemia at this very moment...
there must be a reason for the things we go thru here,& someday we'll understand!
Thank you Allison & thank you Lord for such a beautiful song that makes us cry & makes us feel better all at the same time. God bless all the hurting people tonight wherever they are!
Proud for your stand brother. I love Alllison and thing her voice is amazing, love the Cox family as well. This song is beautiful! Thank you for sharing it.
I absolutely LOVE you Alison Kruass !!!! You are an incredible person inside and out !
thank you for this song and thank Jesus to be here everyday, this one brought tears such a true and beautiful song
