It had to happen for me to notice the beauty of the sunset that was there everyday
It had to happen for me to realize that the things I held so dear can in a snap, vanish away

It had to happen for me to appreciate the simplicity of life and the peace it can bring
It had to happen for me to be reminded that without love, I am nothing

It had to happen for me to learn more how to share, how to care
It had to happen for me to grow my faith and persevere more
It had to happen for me to be even stronger than before

It had to happen for me to know deeper the Author of the story
And no matter how I think and how I see it..
It had to happen because God wants the best for me
