There's a reason why I bring
You this simple offering
Pouring out my love to You

Though my heart cannot express
All this joy and gratefulness
Still I sing this song
Of love and thanks and praise

~Chorus~
It's bec-ause I'm forgiven
It's bec-ause I am free
It's bec-ause You've shown me mercy
And You believed in me
It's bec-ause You are my savior
It's bec-ause You are my friend
And Your love it lifts me higher than I've ever b-een

Oh the wonder of Your ways
Oh the measure of Your grace
Greater than my heart, can know

So how could I not celebrate
How could I not bless Your name
Singing out a song, of love and thanks and praise
Oh yeah

~Chorus~

It's because You are my savior
It's because You are my friend
And Your love it lifts me higher than I've ever b-een

So much higher

Higher than I've ever b-een
It's bec-ause I'm forgiven
It's bec-ause I am free
It's bec-ause I'm forgiv-en

It's bec-ause I am fr-ee
(Bec-ause I am fr-ee)
I am fr-ee
