Lyrics

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus 1

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

Chorus 2

I'm fixing my eyes
On a heavenly prize
So if anyone asks
Yeah that's my why

Turnaround

That's my why

Verse 3

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

Chorus 1

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

Chorus 2

I'm fixing my eyes
On a heavenly prize
So if anyone asks
Yeah that's my

Chorus 3

Why I'm living
Why I'm breathing
Lord remind me why
My heart is beating

Verse 4

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

Chorus 1

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

Chorus 2

I'm fixing my eyes
On a heavenly prize
So if anyone asks
Yeah that's my

Chorus 3

Why I'm living
Why I'm breathing
Lord remind me why
My heart is beating

Chorus 3

Why I'm living
Why I'm breathing
Yeah If anyone asks
Yeah that's my why
