My Why

Be in this world, not of it, follow Jesus, not the crowd

Be light wherever it looks dark, and love where hate is loud

Make every day's ambition be to make my Father proud

Yeah, that's my why

Greet every day with gratitude, be humble and be kind

See the path in front of you, and leave the past behind

Between grudges and forgiveness, choose forgiveness every time

Yeah, that's my why

Knowing my Jesus and making Him known

Following Him where He calls me to go

And running this race knowing I'm running home

Every day of my life

That's my why

I'm fixing my eyes on a heavenly prize

So if anyone asks, yeah, that's my why

That's my why

Lay my life down for my family, but always stand up for my faith

Let my actions speak louder than the words I say

And live like I'm dying till my dying day

Oh, that's my why

Oh, knowing my Jesus and making Him known

Following Him where He calls me to go

And running this race knowing I'm running home

Every day of my life

That's my why

I'm fixing my eyes on a heavenly prize

So if anyone asks, yeah, that's my

Why I'm living

Why I'm breathing

Lord, remind me why my heart is beating

Why I'm living

Why I'm breathing

Lord, remind me why my heart is beating

And when I cross that finish line and my race has been run

May the reasons why I lived my life come down to just this one

To look into my Father's eyes and hear Him say, "Well done"

Yeah, that's my why

Oh, knowing my Jesus and making Him known

Making Him known

Following Him where He calls me to go

And running this race knowing I'm running home

I'm running home

Every day of my life

Every day, every day of my life

That's my why

I'm fixing my eyes on a heavenly prize

Heavenly prize

So if anyone asks, yeah, that's my

Why I'm living

Why I'm living

Why I'm breathing

Why I'm breathing

Lord, remind me why heart is beating

Why I'm living

Why I'm breathing, yeah

If anyone asks, yeah

That's my why
