CALVARY'S THE REASON WHY

W & M by Del C Way CAE/IPI# 143589358

(Words as sung by Nehemiah Brown)

1. I was lost but You knew where to find me,

I was hungry, You were bread for my soul,

I was thirsty and You gave living water,

You were my shelter when I had no place to go;

That's why sometimes I just want to praise You,

Sometimes just to speak Your name,

Sometimes I just want to thank You, Without asking You for a thing;

Oh sometimes I lift my hands to You, And sometimes all I do is cry,

Everything that I have I owe to You, Lord, And Calvary's the reason why.

2. When I think of the love that You've given,

Lord, when I think of the price You paid for me,

Then the trials on earth, they just seem like nothing,

When they're compared to dark Calvary.

Oh, sometimes I just want to praise You, Sometimes just to speak Your name,

Sometimes I just want to thank You, Without asking you for a thing;

Oh sometimes I lift my hands to You, Then sometimes all I do is cry,

Everything that I have I owe to You, Lord, And Calvary's the reason why.

3. I have a good life here below, and the Lord has blessed me so,

But you know sometimes I just want to go home;

Friends and family I have here, and their love I hold so dear,

But you know sometimes I just want to go home

Yes, sometimes I just want to praise You,

Sometimes just to speak Your name,

Sometimes I just want to thank You, Without asking you for a thing;

Oh sometimes I lift my hands to You, Then sometimes all I do is cry,

Everything that I have I owe to You, Lord, And Calvary's the reason why.

Everything that I have I owe to You, Lord,

And Calvary's the reason why.
