Story behind the song
I used to sing in the choir... then I couldn't. A musician comes back to his home church to perform his latest hit. He asks an old friend to sing along.
Lyrics
Why doesn't he sing He sways to the rhythm as the choir voices ring I see him turning all the pages as the congregation sings His fingers tap a rhythm as the organ plays its song You can tell he loves the music but he never sings along Why doesn't he sing Why doesn't he sing Let his voice just ring Why doesn't he sing I knew he once sang in the choir making perfect harmony He had been my inspiration with his voice so clear and free Now I was home to see my family and to sing my latest song I asked him Brother won't you join me, would you like to sing along I knew he could sing Why doesn't he sing I knew his voice could ring Why doesn't he sing As his fingers signed the answer , I felt tears come to my eyes My soul will gladly join you was all he could reply As he opened up his hymnal and he pointed to his heart I knew our souls would be singing, 'My Lord, How Great Thou Art' Listen to our souls sing Listen to our souls sing Hear our voices ring Listen to our souls sing When sometimes my heart grows weary of the concerts and the road I'm reminded of my brother with the music in his soul I'm so glad the Lord has blessed us as He makes our voices ring To God be all the glory, I'm so glad that we can sing I'm so glad we can sing So glad we can sing Let our voices ring I'm so glad we can sing He sways to rhythm as the choir voices ring ...
