Why Do We Praise

Written November 2006
Why do we praise Him, why do we sing?
He is the Lord, our God and King.
Why do we pray, why do we read?
He supplies our every need.

Why do we strive, why do we live?
To Him our lives we freely give.
Why do we plead, why do we cry?
His heart only understands why.

Why do we love, why do we share?
Without His love we'd be nowhere.
Why do we laugh, why do we smile?
Because of His death our life is worthwhile.

Why do we stumble, why do we fall?
Through God's grace He helps us all.
Why do we fail, why do we turn?
It's just His way of helping us learn.

Why do we fear Him, why do we listen?
Because he gives us each a mission.
Why does He love us, why did he die?
The world will ever wonder why.
