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

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

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 (I'm running home)
Every day of my life (every day, every day of my), that’s my why
I'm fixing my eyes on a heavenly prize (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 my heart is beating

Why I'm living, why I'm breathing
Yeah, if anyone asks
Yeah, that’s my why
