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

You’re the reason why I sing (4x)
