Oh,
well, well, well,
Lord have mercy.
I want to sing this little song
for those of you
out there that might get asked this question.
Why do I serve him?
Oh, Lord.
Why do I love him?
You've got a mighty heart.
Why do I give the Lord everything I've got?
The answer to this question is, oh, why not?
Oh, Lord.
Listen, this is what my friends say.
My friends, they ask me,
why are you acting strange?
Ever since you stood and testified that the Lord brought change,
I remember a time it was me and you.
Now I don't understand why you do what you do.
Why do you serve him?
Oh, why do you love him?
This is what they say to me.
Why do you give the Lord everything you've got?
I look at my friends and say, yeah, oh, why not?
Yes, I do, y'all.
They also ask me this,
that when you go to church,
so you shout and you dance and you give
into others every time you get a chance.
Why in the world does it take all of this?
I really want to know.
Please help me understand why.
Why do you serve him?
Oh,
why do you love him?
Oh, this is what they say to me.
Why do you give the Lord everything you've got?
I look at my friends and I say, yeah, why not?
Oh,
why not?
I love them in the eye and say,
oh,
Lord, why not?
Oh,
yes, I do, y'all.
When they say to me, why not?
Why do you love him?
Why do you give him all of your time?
Oh, why do you give him your heart?
Your soul and your mind.
I'll just turn around and I say to my friend,
why not serve the Lord?
Why not give him everything?
Why not love him?
Why not serve him?
Why not worship him?
Why not praise him?
