Why I Sing

by Kirk Franklin & The Family

VERSE 1


Someone asked a question
Why do we sing?
When we lift our hands to Jesus
What do we really mean?


VERSE 2


Someone may be wondering
When we sing our song
At times we may be crying
And nothing's even wrong


CHORUS 1


I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye's on the sparrow

That's the reason why I sing


CHORUS 2
 

Glory, hallelujah
You’re the reason why I sing
Glory, hallelujah

You’re the reason why I sing


Modulate – Verse 1 – Verse 2 – Chorus 1 – Chorus 2


CHORUS 3


Glory, hallelujah
I give the praises to Ya
Glory, hallelujah

You’re the reason why I sing


VERSE 3


And when the song is over
We’ve all said “Amen”
In your heart just keep on singing
And the song will never end


VERSE 4


And if somebody asks you
Was it just a show?
Lift your hands and be a witness
And tell the whole world “no”


VERSE 5


And when we cross that river
To study war no more
We will sing our song to Jesus
The one whom we adore


Chorus 1 – Chorus 2 – Chorus 3


VAMP


You’re the reason why I sing (4x)
