Because of You Lyrics by Keith Green

For Him Who Has Ears to Hear

1977

[Verse 1]
People smile at me and ask me what it is
That makes them want to be just like I am
So I just point to You and tell them, yes it's true
I'm no special one, I'm just one man
[Chorus 1]
It's because of You
People smile at me and they say
"What a lucky guy"
It's because of You
I can raise my hands and reply
And say I'm happy because of You
[Verse 1]
Now people can't believe that my life used to be
Something no one had any use for
I'd stay at home each night, never shine the light
And I thank You, it'll never be like before
[Chorus 2]
It's because of You
People point at me and they say
"Hey, I like what that boy's got"
And because of You
I confess I don't have a lot
But what I've got is because of You
[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh-oh
Ba, da
Ba, da, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba
I'm only happy because of You
I'm only happy because of You
[Verse 1]
Well, people smile at me and ask me what it is
That makes them want to be just like I am
So I just point to You and tell them, yes it's true
I'm no special one, I'm just one man
[Chorus 1]
It's because of You
People smile at me and they say
"Yeah, what a lucky guy"
It's because of You
I can raise my hands and reply
And say I'm happy because of You
[Outro]
Oh-oh, yeah
Because of You
Because of You, You, You
