_ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab]
For some who don't understand our [Gb] purpose, [Gm] _ _ _ [Ab]
and for some who may [Gb] not understand our [D] praise,
_ [Ab] we as a family in Jesus' name [Eb] _ [Gb] would like to tell [Bbm] you the reason why we sing.
_ [Fm] Someone [Bb] [Bbm] ask the question, why _ do we sing?
_ _ [Ebm] When we lift [Db] our hands to [Ab] Jesus, [Eb] _ [Gb] what do we [Eb] really mean?
_ [Bbm] Someone, [F] _ [Bbm] someone, maybe one, _ _ [Eb] _ when we [Bbm] sing our song,
_ at times we may be [Ab] crying, _ [Eb] _ [Gb] and nothing's even [Fm] wrong.
I sing because I'm happy, [B] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Db] _ and I [Gbm] sing because [Db] I'm free.
[F] His _ [B] eye is [Gb] on the [Bbm] sparrow, that's the _ _ reason why I sing.
When you lift your hands and help [Db] me say [Fm] glory, glory, [Eb] hallelujah, _ _ _ [F] [Db] you're the reason why I sing.
No matter what I go through, I just want to say glory, _ [Cm]
hallelujah, thank you Jesus.
[Db] You're the reason why I [Fm] sing.
Can we say it again?
[Bb] [Eb] Someone, someone [Gm] [Cm] ask the question, _ _ [Fm] _ why do we sing?
When we lift _ _ _ [F] our [Gm] hands to Jesus, _ [Eb] _ [Fm] what do we [Eb] really mean?
Listen, [Gbm] someone, maybe [Fm] one, _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Fm] when we sing our song, _ _ _
at times we may be crying, _ [Bbm] _ [Cm] _
_ and _ [Fm] _ nothing's [Eb] even wrong.
_ [Fm] _ _ [Gbm] _ [Fm] I sing because _
[Eb] _ I'm happy, and [Gb] I sing [Eb] because I'm free.
His [Dm] _ _ [Fm] eye is on the [Cm] sparrow, that's [Gm] the reason [Cm] why I sing.
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] When you lift your hands and help me say glory, [Gm] [N] glory, [Dm] hallelujah, you're the reason [Am] _ [Cm] _ [Eb] why I sing.
No matter what [G] I go through, I want to say [Ab] glory, _ [Dm]
hallelujah, Jesus, you're the reason [Fm] why.
You're the reason why [Eb] I sing.
In spite of my [F] condition, I just want to [Eb] say glory, [G] glory, [Dm] hallelujah, I give the praises to you [Fm] Jesus.
I give the praises [C] to you.
Because you first [Eb] loved me, [Ab] glory, glory, hallelujah, [Cm] you're [Gm] the reason why I sing.
[Ab] You're the reason why [Eb] I sing.
_ [Bb] And when [Eb] the [C] song is over, _ [F] we've all [Bb] said amen.
And your _ [Fm] _ heart [Gm] just keep on singing, and [Cm] the _ [Fm] song [Eb] will never [Ebm] end.
[Bb] And if [Cm] somebody asks, _ _ [Gm] _ [Ab]
hallelujah, [F] was it just a show?
Was it [Fm] just a show?
Lift your [Bbm] _ _ [Dm] [Gm] hands and be a witness.
And tell [Eb] the whole [Fm] world, no.
_ [Bb] _
Listen, [Eb] this is the part I like.
And when we cross that [Cm] river, _ to [Bb] study war [Fm] no more,
[Ab] we will _ _ [Gb] sing [Gm] our song to Jesus.
I can't wait to see you, [Ab] the one [Bb] whom we adore.
But until [Fm] then, I'll sing because I'm happy.
_ [Cm] Oh yeah, and I'll sing because [Fm] _ _ [G] [Eb] I'm free.
_ [G] His eyes on the [Db] sky.
_ _ [Cm] _
You're the [Gm] reason _ [Cm] _ [Eb] why I sing.
You're my melody at [Gm] midnight, Jesus.
[Fm] You're the _ [Eb] _ _
song in my storm, Jesus.
[Fm] You're the reason why _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ I [Eb] _ sing.
[Ab]
I love you _ [Cm] [F] with an unconditional [Bb] love [Fm] for the rest of my life, Jesus.
[Gm] _ _ [Eb] Now and forevermore, [Ab] you'll be the reason [Gm] why [Eb] I sing. _ _ _ _ _ _
