The Reason
Keith Lancaster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a reason I can sing
There's a reason for this life inside me
One name above all names
Jesus yes it's Jesus
There's a reason for this hope
One worthy of all praise
Jesus yes it's Jesus
I will lift my hands up
I will raise my voice high
I will shout out your love
Till the day that I die
Everything that I have
All my worship I bring
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I sing
For the victory over sin
For the goodness of your grace each day
I will bow and bless your name
Jesus I thank you Jesus
I will lift my hands up
I will raise my voice high
I will shout out your love
Till the day that I die
Everything that I have
All my worship I bring
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I sing
When my time on earth is through
When my final breath has left these lungs
I'll forever be with you
Where the song goes on and on
I will lift my hands up
I will raise my voice high
I will shout out your love
Till the day that I die
Everything that I have
All my worship I bring
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I sing
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I sing
