“I wrote Jesus Is Why because I want people to know that Jesus is my why. He’s the reason why I get up on a stage and sing these songs that I’ve written through good times in my life and really hard times in my life. Jesus is why I have joy and peace and freedom that I never thought was possible in my life. When our circumstances are crazy and when everything’s changing, it’s only Jesus that keeps us anchored to hope and peace. I believe that as believers, we should have so much joy in the middle of a crazy circumstance that people should be walking up to us asking why, asking how it’s even possible for us to have a smile on our face on one of the hardest days of our lives. For me, my purpose and my reason is Jesus and that’s why I wrote this song.”

The Lyrics
A song that sounds like grace
And anyone can see that something’s changedAsk me why I’m smiling
Ask me why I’m free
Ask me why there’s joy, joy, joy inside of me
So ask me why I’m smiling
And this is what I’ll say
Why I can finally be
Ask me why I’m free
Ask me why there’s joy, joy, joy inside of me
To wake up every day
So ask me why I’m smiling
And this is what I’ll say Jesus is why
Jesus is why
Jesus is why
Jesus is why
Why I know this life is worth the living (Living)
Jesus is why
Ask me why I’m free
Ask me why there’s joy, joy, joy inside of me
To wake up every day
So ask me why I’m smiling
And this is what I’ll say
(This is what I’ll say)
Jesus is why
(Jesus is why)
Jesus is why
(Jesus is why)
Jesus is why
(Jesus is why)
Jesus is why (Jesus is why)
