You brought me from darkness
And clothed me in garments of praise
Jesus, forever
My song will be You, yeah
I'm living in freedom
You've taken my burdens away
Jesus, forever
My song will be You
Only for You
For the cross that You bore and the debt that You paid
For the victory You won over death and the grave
This is the reason I sing
For the hope that You give and the joy that You bring
For the promise that Heaven is waiting for me
This is the reason I sing
I will not be silent
I'll testify of Your grace
Jesus, forever
My song will be You
Only for You
For the cross that You bore and the debt that You paid
For the victory You won over death and the grave
This is the reason I sing
For the hope that You give and the joy that You bring
For the promise that Heaven is waiting for me
This is the reason I sing
So good
So good
You're so good to me
Forever
I'll sing
You're so good to me
Hey, You're so good
You're so good
You're so good to me
Forever
I'll sing
You're so good to me, yeah
For the cross that You bore and the debt that You paid
For the victory You won over death and the grave
Oh, this is the reason I sing
For the hope that You give and the joy that You bring
For the promise that Heaven is waiting for me
This is the reason I sing
For the cross that You bore and the debt that You paid
For the victory You won over death and the grave
Oh, this is the reason I sing
