You ask me what do I live
for
What is it I search for
each day
Do I think I shall ever
find it
Or is it just too far away
I live for the day I am
given
That God has chosen to
share
I know He has His reasons
For wanting me to be here
Life must have a purpose
What is my purpose, you
ask
Mostly, it is to be worthy
Of fulfilling each and
every task
One thing I live for is my
family
And surely that is quite
true
I live to try to set an
example
Of what God would have us
do
You never know who just
might be watching
Nor may you know why they
should care
But it seems as you learn
to truly give
You somehow become so much
more aware
As you wander here on
life's highways
You never know what might
be in store
Perhaps the days will
bring wonders
Perhaps there will never
be more
So who should determine
your journey
When you walk for the
purpose of man
You go where you are most
needed
Knowing that is also part
of life's plan
You see, I believe as we
journey
There is a pathway that's
set
And if we tend to wander
We'll live one day with
regret
Living for self isn't
giving
It's only taking away
If we are to be of His
service
We cannot choose then to
stray
God has His purpose for me
Yet, He has His purpose
for you
Our paths may not cross in
this life's walk
Perhaps it's not important
that they do
This much I know He has
taught me
That you are as important
as I
And when the living is
over
He will decide who shall
fly
I'm certain God picks His
angels
That each day a new page
we write
Tomorrow I will strive to
do better
If God will just be with
me tonight
