Why I Sing

[spoken]
For some who don't understand our purpose
And may not understand our praise
We, as the family in Jesus' name
Would like to tell you the reason why we sing
Family

Someone asked the question
Why do we sing
When we lift our hands to Jesus
What do we really mean
Someone may be wondering
When we sing our song
At times we maybe crying
And nothing's even wrong

[chorus]
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
That's the reason why I sing
Glory, hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing

Someone asked the question
Why do we sing
When we lift our hands to Jesus
What do we really mean
Someone may be wondering
When we sing our song
At times we maybe crying
And nothing's even wrong

[chorus]

Glory, hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing
Glory, hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing
Glory, hallelujah
I give the praises to You
Glory, hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing

And when the song is over
We've all said, 'Amen'
In your heart just keep on singing
And the song will never end
And if somebody asks you
Was it just a show
Lift your hands and be a witness
And tell the whole world, no
And when we cross that river
To study war no more
We will sing our song to Jesus
The One whom we adore

[chorus]

Glory, hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing
Glory, hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing
Glory, hallelujah
I give the praises to You
Glory, hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing

You're the reason why I sing
You're the reason why I sing
You're the reason why I sing
You're the reason why I sing
You're the reason why I sing

Oh, I love You
I love Your name, Jesus
Glory, hallelujah
For the rest of my life, Jesus
You'll be the reason why I sing
