The Reason
Travis Cottrell 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
There's a reason for this peace that I know
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 of 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 of 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!

Yeah, You're the reason, 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 of 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!

I will lift my hands up
I will raise my voice high
I will shout of Your love
Till the day that I die
Everything that I have
All my worship I bring
You're the reason I live
'Cause You're the reason I sing

You're the reason I live
You're the reason I sing
