Why We Sing

by Maverick City Music & Kirk Franklin

[Intro: Chandler Moore] Concerned about His 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 bе crying ( And nothing's even wrong ) And nothing's evеn wrong [Chorus: Mav City Gospel Choir & Brandon Lake, Kirk Franklin ] ( Wave your hand 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 somebody 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 I sing ) 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"( Shh, 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 song to Jesus ) We will sing our song to Jesus ( The One whom we adore ) The One whom we adore
