Lyrics: 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 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 heart is beating Why I’m living Why I’m breathing Lord remind me why 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 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 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 Songwriters: Matthew West, AJ Pruis © 2024 Story House IV Music (ASCAP) (admin. at EssentialMusicPublishing.com); Combustion Five / Pruis Not Prius / Story House West Wing (ASCAP) (admin. by Me Gusta Music) ? & © 2024 Provident Label Group, LLC, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, under exclusive license from Story House Music #MatthewWest #MyWhy #DontStopPraying
