Jesus Is Why

Used to wake up in the morning
With my past stuck in my head
Yesterday weighing me down
Before I even got up out of bed

But now I wake up singing
A song that sounds like grace
And anyone can see that something's changed

Ask me why I'm smiling
Ask me why I'm free
Ask me why there's joy, joy, joy inside of me
My heart has found its reason
To wake up every day
So ask me why I'm smiling
And this is what I'll say
Jesus is why
Jesus is why

Why I got sunshine even when the rain falls
Why it's alright even when it's all wrong
Ain't no secret Jesus is why
Why I can finally be
The me He made me to be
Yeah I just signed a new lease on life

Ask me why I'm smiling
Ask me why I'm free
Ask me why there's joy, joy, joy inside of me
My heart has found its reason
To wake up every day
So ask me why I'm smiling
And this is what I'll say
Jesus is why
Jesus is why
Jesus is why
Jesus is why

Why I know my sins have been forgiven
(Forgiven)
Why I know this life is worth the living
(Living)
Why I know my home is up in heaven
Yeah, I know why
Jesus is why

Ask me why I'm smiling
Ask me why I'm free
Ask me why there's joy, joy, joy inside of me
My heart has found its reason
To wake up every day
So ask me why I'm smiling
And this is what I'll say
(This is what I'll say)
Jesus is why
(Jesus is why)
Jesus is why
(Jesus is why)
Jesus is why
(Jesus is why)
Jesus is why
(Jesus is why)
