I've Got a Reason (Draper's Legacy) Songtext
von Hezekiah Walker

When I was down and out, Jesus, He brought me out, and I′ve got a reason
(I've got a reason to praise the Lord)
When I was deep in sin, and I had no peace within, I′ve got a reason
(I've got a reason to praise the Lord)

When I was down and out, Jesus, He brought me out, and I've got a reason
(I′ve got a reason to praise the Lord)
When I was deep in sin, and I had no peace within, I′ve got a reason
(I've got a reason to praise the Lord)

For He′s been so good to me
He gave me the victory
Walked right by my side
Always be my guide

Oh, when I was down and out, Jesus, He brought me out, and I've got a reason
(I′ve got a reason to praise the Lord)

(Praise God from whom all blessings flow)
Praise Him all creatures here below
(Praise Him above the heavenly host)
I praise Him for He's given me the Holy Ghost


When I was down and out, Jesus, He brought me out, and I′ve got a reason
(I've got a reason to praise the Lord)
If you've got a reason tonight, come on and put your hands together

I′ll praise Him (I′ll praise Him)
With my hands (with my hands)
And I'll praise Him (I′ll praise Him)
In the dance (in the dance)
