"My Why" lyrics - MATTHEW WEST

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
