LYRICS: Maverick City Music & Kirk Franklin – Why We Sing – Feat. Brandon Lake
Someone asked the question
(Someone asked the question)
Why do we sing?
(Why do we sing?)
When we lift our hands to Jesus
(When we lift our hands to Jesus)
What do we really mean?
(What do we really mean?)
Someone may be wonderin’
(Someone may be wonderin’)
When we sing our song
(When we sing our song)
At times, we may be cryin’
(At times we may be crying)
And nothing’s even wrong
(And nothing’s even wrong)
Wave yours hand in the air, say I sing because
(I sing because I’m happy)
I sing because I’m free
(I sing because I’m free)
His eye is on the sparrow
(His eye is on the sparrow)
That’s the reason why I sing
(That’s the reason why I sing)
I need somebody to help me say glory
(Glory hallelujah)
You’re the reason why
(You’re the reason why I sing)
Say glory hallelujah
(Glory hallelujah)
You’re the reason why
(You’re the reason why I sing)
And when the song is over
(And when the song is over)
We’ve all said amen
(We’ve all said amen)
In your heart, just keep on singin’
(In your heart, just keep on singing)
And the song will never end
(And the song will never end)
And if somebody asks you
(And if somebody asks you)
Was it just a show?
(Was it just a show?)
Lift your hands and be a witness
(Lift your hands and be a witness)
And tell the whole world no
(And tell the whole world no)
And when we cross that river
(And when we cross that river)
To study war no more
(To study war no more)
We will sing our song to Jesus
(We will sing our song to Jesus)
The one whom we adore
(The one whom we adore)
Hey, I sing because
(I sing because I’m happy)
(I sing because I’m free)
(His eye is on the sparrow)
And that’s the reason why
(That’s the reason why I sing)
Glory
(Glory hallelujah)
I give the praises to ya
(I give the praises to ya)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, glory hallelujah
(Glory hallelujah)
You’re the reason why
(You’re the reason why I sing)
You’re the reason why
(You’re the reason why I sing)
You’re the reason why, Jesus
(You’re the reason why I sing)
You’re the song in my storm, Jesus
(You’re the reason why I sing)
You’re the melody in my heart, Jesus
(You’re the reason why I sing)
(You’re the reason why I sing)
