WHY WE SING
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 nothings 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
You're the reason why I sing
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 nothings 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
You're the reason why I sing
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 song to Jesus
The one whom we adore
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
You're the reason why I sing
Glory Hallelujah
I give the praises to you
Glory Hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing
You're the reason why I sing (repeat 4 times)
You're the reason why I sing (repeat 4 times)
You're the reason why I sing
SILVER & GOLD
Chorus:
Silver & Gold
Silver and Gold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver & gold
No fame or fortune
Nor riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver & 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 Saviour
My life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver & gold
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 & gold
Silver & gold
Chorus:
For unto us a child is born, a son is given
I'd rather have Jesus
You see what profits a man to gain the whole wide world and lose his soul
I'd rather have Jesus
In the midnight hour when my body is rocking with pain I'd rather have Jesus
I'd rather have Jesus
I'd rather have Jesus, the Son of Man, the King of Kings
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold
Gold, gold, gold,
Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold
Gold, gold, gold, gold
Gold, gold, gold,gold
Gold, gold, gold, gold
GOLD!
TILL WE MEET AGAIN
Chorous:
May His peace be with you
Till we meet again
May His peace be with you
Till we meet again
Till we reach that distant shore
And we'll shed a tear no more
May He give you strength to endure
Till we meet again
Repeat as solo
May His peace be with you
Till we meet again
May His peace be with you
Till we meet again
When we reach that promise land
And we're walking hand in hand
May He give you strength to stand
Till we meet again
Till we meet again
May His love be with you
Till we meet again
May His love be with you
Till we meet again
Till we walk those streets of gold
Where will never, never, nerver, never grow old
I'll find rest for my soul
Till we meet again
Till we meet again
repeat chorus again

WHAT'CHA LOOKIN' 4
I was searchin' for someone to love me right
Hear me when I cry keep me late at night
Jesus came even in my misery
Wipe the tears from my eyes
This is what He said
Chorus: Whatcha' lookin' 4
I'm the one you're looking 4
Whatcha searching 4
You don't have to search no further
Give you Peace and Joy
Fill your life with happiness
Don't you look no more
Cause I'm the one you're looking 4
L-O-V love never meant that much to me
'Till I saw your face
I felt Amazing Grace
But in the midnight hour
When I held my pillow tight
He wiped the tears so I could see
This is what he said
I never knew love could be so sweet
The joy you give to me
Peace and harmony
I love you so
More than you'll ever
What is this that I found never never let me down
Chorus:
What you want (what you want)
I got it (I got it)
What you need (What you need)
I'm the one you're lookin' 4
It's yours (it's yours)
It's yours(It's yours)
It's your (it's yours)
I am (I'm the one you're looking for)
