  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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 asked 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 songs to Jesus
    The one whome we adore

    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

    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 (repeat til the music fade out)
