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
We sing because we're happy
We sing because we're free
His eye is on the sparrow
He's the reason why we sing

Glory hallelujah
You're the reason why we sing
Glory hallelujah
You're the reason why we 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 may be crying
And nothing's even wrong
And tell them
We sing because we're happy

Oh, yes
We sing because we're free
Because we're free
His eye is on the sparrow
He's the reason why we sing
Glory hallelujah
Glory hallelujah
You're the reason why we sing

Glory
Glory hallelujah
You're the reason why we sing
Glory hallelujah
We give the praises to you
Glory hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing
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 should ask you
Was it just a show
Lift your hands and

Be a witness
Be a witness
And tell the whole world no
When we cross that river
To study war no more
We will sing our songs to Jesus
He is the one that we adore
You know we sing because we're happy
And we sing because we're free
We know his eye is on the sparrow
He's the reason why we sing

Glory
Glory hallelujah
He's the reason why we sing
Glory, glory
Glory hallelujah
He's the reason why we sing
Glory
Glory hallelujah
We give the praises to you
Glory hallelujah

He's the reason why we sing
He's the reason why we sing
He's the reason why we sing
He's the reason why we sing
He is the reason
You are the reason why
You're the reason why we sing
