From the recording Eternal Praise is His
DO WE KNOW WHY WE ARE HERE? WITHOUT KNOWING WHY WE ARE HERE, HOW CAN WE PLEASE OUR CREATOR? WE TRY SO HARD TO PLEASE PEOPLE WHEN WE SHOULD BE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT, TO PLEASE GOD. I KNOW HE KNOW MY PURPOSE. IF HE COULD JUST SHOW ME IT AND LET ME JUST DO IT, WON'T THAT BE GREAT?
Lyrics
MY PURPOSE
LORD I NEED A PURPOSE, IN MY LIFE, TO LIVE FOR YOU
SHOW ME THE PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE TO FOLLOW THROUGH
FOR WITHOUT A PURPOSE, IN MY LIFE
HOW CAN I PLEASE YOU, OH LORD
I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW IT, WHY DON’T YOU SHOW IT
AND LET ME DO IT
VERSE 2:
BEFORE IN WAS CONCEIVED, YOU KNEW
WHAT MY PURPOSE WOULD BE, OH MY LORD
BEFORE I WAS BORN, YOU KNEW WHAT I WOULD GET DONE
AND NOW, I AM HERE, YOU PUT ME HERE FOR A REASON
AND IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU, AND IT ALL ENDS WITH YOU
OH LORD, I NEED YOU TO SHOW ME MY PURPOSE
CHORUS:
FOR WITHOUT A PURPOSE, IN MY LIFE, HOW CAN I PLEASE YOU
I NEED TO FOCUS MY LIFE ON YOU
LORD, SHOW ME THE PURPOSE, FOR MY LIFE
EVERY DAY, OH MY LORD
I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW IT, WHY DON’T YOU SHOW IT
AND LET ME DO IT
VERSE 3:
BEFORE I WAS BORN AGAIN, I DIDN’T KNOW
I WAS PLACED HERE TO SERVE YOU, OH MY LORD
I SEARCHED THE WRONG PLACES, DID THE WRONG THINGS
AND PLEASED THE WRONG PEOPLE
AND NOW, I AM SAVED, YOU SAVED MY LIFE FOR A REASON
AND IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU, AND IT ALL ENDS WITH YOU
OH LORD, I NEED YOU TO SHOW ME MY PURPOSE
CHORUS:
FOR WITHOUT A PURPOSE, IN MY LIFE, HOW CAN I PLEASE YOU
I NEED TO FOCUS MY LIFE ON YOU
LORD, SHOW ME THE PURPOSE, FOR MY LIFE
EVERY DAY, OH MY LORD
I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW IT, WHY DON’T YOU SHOW IT
AND LET ME DO IT
OH LORD, SHOW ME MY PURPOSE, OH LORD, SHOW ME MY PURPOSE
SHOW ME MY PURPOSE
