"Why We Sing"

Written by Kirk Franklin

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 may be crying
And nothing's even wrong

CHORUS
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!
I give the praises to you!
Glory hallelujah!

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 asks 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 song to Jesus
