Verso 1

Used to wake up in the morning
With my past stuck in my head
Yesterday weighing me down
Before I even got up out of bed
But now I wake up singing
A song that sounds like grace
And anyone can see
That something’s changed

Coro

Ask me why I’m smiling
Ask me why I’m free
Ask me why there’s joy
Joy joy inside of me
My heart has found its reason
To wake up every day
So ask me why I’m smiling
And this is what I’ll say

Refrain

Jesus is why
Jesus is why

Verso 2

Why I got sunshine
Even when the rain falls
Why it’s alright even when it’s all wrong
Ain’t no secret Jesus is why
Why I can finally be
The me He made me to be
Yeah I just signed a new lease on life

Coro

Ask me why I’m smiling
Ask me why I’m free
Ask me why there’s joy
Joy joy inside of me
My heart has found its reason
To wake up every day
So ask me why I’m smiling
And this is what I’ll say

Refrain

Jesus is why
Jesus is why

Puente

Why I know my sins have been forgiven
Why I know this life is worth the living
Why I know my home is up in Heaven
Yeah I know why Jesus is why

Coro

Ask me why I’m smiling
Ask me why I’m free
Ask me why there’s joy
Joy joy inside of me
My heart has found its reason
To wake up every day
So ask me why I’m smiling
And this is what I’ll say

Refrain

Jesus is why
Jesus is why
