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 times we may be crying
And nothing's even wrong
CHORUS
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
Glory hallelujah!
I give the praises to you!
Glory hallelujah!
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 song to Jesus

With Dorinda Clark-Cole
(K. Franklin)
Verse
The heavens were silent
The earth wept in pain
Nations were trembling and hope never came
A terror filled the air and it wouldn't go away
We needed a hero to come and save the day
Famine and hunger, disease in the land
The hatred, the killing
Taking lives from your hand
Creation waits, through darkness we pray
Tell me where is the hero to come and save the day
Through the nails, through the thorns
From the hill to the grave
Was a voice in the distance
The lamb that was slain
My soul had no song and my debt I couldn't pay
When I needed a hero You came and You saved the day
To the homeless, the widow, the fatherless son
To the sick and the broken, alone with no one
Lift up your head, your hope is on the way
When we needed a hero, You came and You saved the day
When the curtain had closed, and it felt like the end
Your blood caught the fall and took away every sin
Even though men deny, You're the only sacrifice that loved us enough
You loved us so much Lord that You gave Your life
See You saved my life
Now I can see You, I'm no longer ashamed
Your Power I feel
See our lives have exchanged, every wrong is erased
Jesus, You are my hero, You came and You saved the day

CHORUS
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold
No fame or fortune
Nor riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold
Don't give me a mansion
On top of a hill
Don't give me the world
With a shallow thrill
But just give me a Savior
My life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold
CHORUS
I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of down
I called on my best friend
She could not be found
But I called on Jesus
My life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold

When you're weary and discouraged and
You're feeling down and low
When your friends forsake you and
You have no place to go
When the burdens seem so hard for
You to try and bear
CHORUS
Just call on the Lord and He will be right there
Just call on the Lord and He will be right there
There have been times
I've felt so all alone
Feeling like all hope was gone
I'd lay awake in my bed at night
Wondering if everything would turn out right
Then the Master of the sea
Came down from Heaven and He rescued me
CHORUS

Look in my eyes and you will see
The way that real love used to be
When the flowers bloomed in the springtime
And happiness was all mine
It's hard to let my feelings show
But I've got to let somebody know
About the love that Jesus has given me
He loosed my shackles and He set me free
Is this a dream or is this reality
Have I finally found someone who loves me
I just want to know if
[chorus 2x]
Have you ever loved somebody
Will you ever love somebody
The way that Jesus loves you (la, la, la.....)
Over and over I ask myself
Will there ever be anyone else
Who can give me so much joy and peace
And make every day, oh so sweet
I searched all over, couldn't find one
Till I met His only begotten Son
At first, I didn't understand
Till I saw the nail prints in His hands
Is this a dream or is this reality
Have I finally found someone who loves me
I just want to know, I just want to know
I just want to know if
[chorus 2x]
Have you ever loved somebody
Will you ever love somebody
The way that Jesus loves you (la, la, la.....)
Help me sing it Family
He loves me [repeated with adlibs]
Have you ever loved somebody
Will you ever love somebody
[till fade]

CHORUS
It really doesn't matter
What you're going through
I know that Jesus can work it out for you
His yoke is easy, and His burden light
Just give it to Jesus
He'll make it alright
He can handle it
He can handle it
Repeat
He can handle it
There's no doubt about my savior
I know He will deliver
He can handle it
There's no doubt about my savior
I know He will deliver
Whatever it is
He can handle it
Repeat
He can (4x's)
Repeat
He can
Handle it
He can
If you know He can say yes
Yes!

This is to my friend above
Who shows me so much love and grace
By placing a smile upon my face
It's so hard to express the way I feel
About a man who can heal your life
By dying on a cross
For sinners who were lost
Lord, I love you so much
That I'm yearning for Your touch
This is to my friend above
Who shows me so much love and grace
By placing a smile upon my face
It's so hard to express the way I feel
About a man who can heal your life
By dying on a cross
For sinners who were lost
And while I'm here today
There's just one thing that I want to say
CHORUS
Watch over me and protect me
From the things I cannot see
Let Your loving arms surround me
From here to eternity
Lord I need Your anointing
So my spirit can be free
Lord I need You more,
And more and more, and more
Repeat
I need You more and more
I need You more and more
. . .

We worship Your Holy name
We worship Your name
Worship Your name
