I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

One day, Jesus saved me
(That's why I sing)
With mercy He forgave me
(That's why I sing)
His precious grace has raised me
(That's why I sing)
Jesus is the reason why I sing

I have a newfound friend
(That's why I sing)
On Him I know I can depend
(That's why I sing)
His love will never, never end
(That's why I sing)
Jesus is the reason why I sing

All my needs He will supply
(That's why I sing)
He gives mе strength for every fight
(That's why I sing)
Hе's been faithful all my life
(That's why I sing)
Well, Jesus is the reason why I sing
That big ole stone was rolled away
(That's why I sing)
And Jesus is alive today
(That's why I sing)
He is coming back and I can't wait
(That's why I sing)
Don't you know that
Jesus is the reason
Jesus is the reason
Jesus is the reason why I sing

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I must tell
How God so loved He sent His Son
To save our souls from hell
I sing because His victory
Down in my heart today
Though Satan tries to criticize
He can't take it away
I'll sing this Gospel message
Until I cease to breathe
'Cause Jesus is the reason
Jesus is the reason
Jesus is the reason why I sing
