Why We Sing (feat. Kirk Franklin & Brandon Lake)

Concerned about Your children

Someone asked a question (someone asked a 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 wondering (someone may be wondering)
When we sing our song (when we sing our song)
At times we may be crying (at times we may be crying)
And nothing's even wrong (and nothing's even wrong)

Wave your hands in the air and 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 someone 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)
And your heart just keep on singing (and your heart just keeps 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 songs to Jesus (we will sing our songs to Jesus)
The one whom we adore (the one whom we adore)

I sing because (I sing because I'm happy)
I need for you to open your mouth up and say (I sing because I'm free)
I need some free people to say (His eye is on the sparrow)
And that's the reason why (that's the reason why I sing)

Say, Glory (glory, Hallelujah)
I give the praises to You (I give the praises to You)
Yeah, 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)
Last time, hold it out, hold it out (you're the reason why I sing)
