Dionne Warwick featuring Dee Dee Warrick 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 time we're even crying
And nothing 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 we sing
Hallelujah
You're the reason why we sing
Hallelujah
I give the praises to You
Hallelujah
You're the reason why we sing
And when the song is over
We've all said
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
And when we cross that river
To study war no more
We will sing our songs to Jesus
The one that we adore
