LGKids (1 year ago) With all the songs Kirk has done, I had to go back to this classic! This song is powerful and worship ready! I pray in the future there is a Kirk and the Family Reunion, maybe then we can hear some of the old jams and some of the new classics. Love you all in Christ, thanks for posting this timeless worship jam and peace to all you who keep making such great comments!

Kirk touches places within me unlike any other gospel artist of today!
This video and performance is a classic!
Thanks for posting!
They get down at 5:23 and I just well up with tears and fall right into harmony with them. I feel every emotion in that sanctuary right here at my computer.

Someone asked the question
Why do we sing?
When we lift our hands to Jesus
What do we really mean?
 
Someone may be wondering
When we sing our song
At times we maybe crying.
And nothings even wrong
 
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
That's the reason why I sing
