“Why We Sing”
Glory, Hallelujah
Someone asked the question
Why do we sing?
When we lift our hands to Jesus
What do we really mean?
You're the reason why I sing. (repeat)
Someone may be wonderin’
When we sing our song
At times we may be crying,
And nothing’s 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 I sing
Glory, Hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing. (2x)
Glory, Hallelujah
I give the praises to You
Glory, Hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing.
And 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 asks you
Was it just a show
Lift your hands and be a witness
And tell the whole world, No
And when we cross that river
To study war no more
We will sing our songs to Jesus
The one that we adore.
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
That's the reason why I sing
Glory, Hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing. (2x)
Glory, Hallelujah
I give the praises to You
“Praise is What I Do”
Praise is what I do
When I want to be close to You,
I lift my hands in praise.
Praise is who I am,
I will praise Him while I can.
I’ll bless Him at all times.
I vow to praise You
Through the good and the bad.
I’ll praise You,
Whether happy or sad.
I’ll praise You
In all that I go through
Because praise is what I do
Cuz I owe it all to You.
Praise is what I do,
Even when I’m going through,
I’ve learned to worship You.
Though my circumstance
Doesn’t even stand a chance,
My praise out weighs the bad.
I vow to praise You
Through the good and the bad.
I’ll praise You,
Whether happy or sad.
I’ll praise You
In all that I go through
Because praise is what I do
Cuz I owe it all to You.
Praise is what I do
It’s what I do. (4x)
“He’s Worthy”
Its time to give God all of the praise
Its time to praise His holy name
For all of the things He has done for us
Everybody give Him all the praise
(2x)
For His goodness, His mercy, and His
favor He’s worthy of the praise
(4x)
He's worthy, let's praise the Lord

“Lift Him Up”
He is worthy
He is worthy
He is worthy
Worthy to be praised
From the rising of the sun
‘Til the going down of the same
God is...worthy
(2x)
Come on praise Him (4x)
Give God all the praise
Give God all the praise
Lift Him up, higher, higher (as many
times as we want)
Lift Him up, higher!
“Praise Him in Advance”
I’ve had my share of ups and downs,
Times when there was no one around,
God came and spoke these words to
me,
Praise will confuse the enemy.
I started singing, I started clapping,
I started dancing, people were laughing,
They knew my problems,
They knew my pain,
But I knew God would take them away.

Come on lets praise him in advance.

“Shout Unto God”
The children of Israel versus Jericho
God promised them the city
They marched around the walls, hey
On the seventh time around
They let the trumpet sound
And Joshua stood up and said
C'mon everybody…shout
[Chorus:]
Shout unto God,
With the voice of triumph
Let's sing and rejoice,
For His name is great
C'mon let's celebrate, say
You've been making progress
But now you hit a wall, yes sir
Don't forget, hey
That He is in your corner, yes He is
And before one single round
Know that the winner, you've been
found
And when you hear these words
Let's get ready to rumble
Stand and shout, yeah
[Chorus 2x]
(Bridge)
When you face your foe
Like the walls of Jericho
You just need to know
That He has given [He has given us the
victory]
There is no need to worry
Cause [He is our salvation]
(Vamp)
Shout, sing and rejoice
Celebrate Him, celebrate
Lift your voice and sing
He is the mighty King
He is God eternal
[repeat as desired]

The angels bow down at the thought of
You
The darkness gives way to the light for

The price that You paid gives us life
brand New
Hosanna forever we worship You
Hosanna forever we worship You [2x]
For You are the joy that my soul longs
for
The lamb that was slain for my sins and
the One I adore
King of kings, Ruler of everything
Hosanna forever we worship You
Hosanna forever we worship You [2x]
For Your patience and kindness
And favor and mercy
And honor and glory
Because You are worthy
We can't live without You
We can't breathe without You
We can't sing without You
Hosanna Hosanna
No greater love in this world but You
No one can compare to the things You
do
Wherever You go I will follow You
Hosanna forever we worship You
Hosanna forever we worship You
Someday every tongue shall confess
Your name
This house made of clay soon shall pass
away
Whatever the test You will bring us
through
Hosanna forever we worship You [4x]
[Vamp]
Hosanna forever
Hosanna forever and ever and ever
Hosanna
We praise You
Hosanna forever and ever and ever
Hosanna forever
Hosanna forever and ever and ever
Hosanna forever

ever and ever and ever and ever
Hosanna forever…
