God's Purpose for Our Lives

[Sue J Love]

What is God’s purpose for our lives?
Why are we here? Just to survive?
God has a purpose in His mind
By His design, that we might find.

What is His purpose? What’s at stake?
Why are we here? Why He create?
That we might die with Him to sin,
Obey His word, and live for Him.

He put us here upon the earth
That one day He might give new birth
To all who will forsake their sins
And let the Spirit live within.

He has a task for all of us
Who trust His Word, believe He’s just,
To follow Him where’er He leads
And share His gospel, His sheep feed.

He’s gifted us in many ways,
That we might serve Him all our days
In loving others, with them share
All that’s of God, so they aware.

Our hope in Him, our life to find
In One who’s truth, in One who’s kind,
Who gave His life so we’d go free
From slaves to sin, with Him agree.

Walk with Him now, walk in His ways,
And do no longer from Him stray.
Obey Him now, do what He says,
Not enemies, now we’re His friends.

So, fellowshipping with our Lord,
We side with Him, in one accord,
We witness for Him, spread His Word,
And of His heaven we’re assured.
