Lyrics
Verse 1
Some people think that I’m crazy
Some even call me a fool
But I found a love so amazing
If only, if only they knew
All of the times He’s provided
The miracles wonders and signs
So I cannot give Him half of my worship
And that should be no surprise
Chorus
Ask me why I worship the way that I do
Cause I’ve got a reason to
Praise Him like I know I’ve got nothing to lose
Cause I’ve got a reason to
Verse 2
I’ve got a peace overwhelming
A joy that I can’t put in words
For all the blessings He pours out from heaven
I’ll give Him what He deserves
Bridge
Clap my hands, move my feet
Get undignified
I was lost now I’m found
Jesus saved my life
I was bound now I’m free
Walking in the light
That’s the reason why
That’s the reason I
Bridge 2
Look what the Lord has done
Look what the Lord has done
It’s not hard to see it
Look what the Lord has done
Tag
It’s not hard to see it
Look what the Lord has done
It’s not hard to see it
Look what the Lord has done
It’s not hard to see it

Meaning & Inspiration
In “Ask Me Why,” Michael Bethany turns worship into a response rather than a performance. The opening lines acknowledge that devotion can look foolish from the outside, yet the song anchors that seeming foolishness in a lived history of provision and miracles. The chorus answers the question directly: there is a reason, and that reason is personal testimony.
The second verse shifts to inward evidence—peace and joy that exceed explanation—before the bridge names the decisive turn: being lost, bound, then found and free. That language echoes the biblical pattern of salvation as rescue and release.
The repeated invitation to “look what the Lord has done” treats testimony as public evidence. The song does not defend worship through argument; it points to visible change in a life. The mention of clapping, moving feet, and getting undignified suggests that authentic praise may break social expectations precisely because it is answering something real. Theologically, the song presents worship as proportional—God has given everything, so praise cannot be half-hearted. The meaning rests on remembering: the reason for worship is not a feeling but a record of what God has already done.
