Million Reasons
Heavenly Parents? Eternal Families? A purpose for being here? Yes!!
Last fall I was in New York City about to cross a busy street, when 2 beautiful women came up to my friend and me and asked, “Do you know that we have a Heavenly Mother and scriptures witnesses of it?”. I answered “Yes!” I wanted to share more, and I could tell they did too, but we had to catch up with our group.
I have 7 daughters and 10 granddaughters, and I want them to know that they are created in the image of their Heavenly Parents, that they are divine, and they are loved! I believe, particularly as women, we need to acknowledge that more and look for all the things that witness of this truth.
In the process of writing this song, I was filled with a great sense of awe about our Heavenly Parents: who they are, who we are, and the incredible purpose of why we are here. I felt a glimpse of our Eternal Family, with a compassionate Heavenly Father AND Mother and their children…each of us here!
This plan is so AMAZING….so ASTONISHING…. and there are truly a “MILLION REASONS” why I believe.
“There’s a Father pleading we’ll know He’s near, there’s a Heavenly Mother reaching out her hand….to feel their love and understand.”
We were blessed to go visit Heidi (daughter) and Fisher living then in California (barely a month after she had her baby!!). While we were there, we had a wonderful time filming at the beach for this video. The beautiful scenery and expansive ocean were the perfect backdrop of the message of this song. We hope you enjoy and share!
You are Loved,

Verse 1
You… whispered to me I’m a stranger here, that
Home…was a place that I hold dear but for this
Time…I would learn to walk by faith and trust in what I can’t see, Divine is in me
You…picked me up and gave me reason to
Believe…helped me see the things I couldn’t see and
Truth…opened up my mind and then I
saw the glory, our family’s story
Pre-chorus
I’d stay up late at night,
and look up in the stars
I wonder where I’ve been,
And I wonder where you are
infused with all the wonder
of this galaxy of light
I feel eternity, in awe tonight…
Chorus
There’s a million reasons
Why we are here
There’s a Father pleading
We’ll know He’s near
There’s a Heavenly Mother
reaching out her hand
to feel their love and understand
Verse 2
I…ponder on the beauty of this earth and
Why.. seeing your hand brings new birth
Now I choose..
Faith…trusting in your Holy Son, He is my
Rock, my Shepherd my True Defender and
Life…like the canvas painted in the evening
Sky…lights and colors sweeping hues we use His
Grace…every failure, every triumph
teaches us truth, lifts us higher
Pre-chorus
From the mountaintop,
there’s more than I can see
I try to breathe it in
and grasp eternity
Connecting to my past,
I feel the future burning bright
Heaven’s at the door, it’s in our sights…
Last Chorus
There’s a million reasons why I believe
From the greatest ocean to the smallest seed
From all things that witness of your loving
plan
Choose to see……understand
Outro
You
Whispered to me I’m a stranger here, that
Home
Was a place that I hold dear but for this
Time
I would learn to walk by faith
and trust in what I can’t see
Divine is in me
