Purpose
There is no greater purpose than the purpose that our God
Laid out for us in heaven long before this earth we trod
There is no greater calling than to work as one with Him
Who reigns on high in heaven served by all His seraphim
Who serve not by compulsion but in sacramental love
In reverent adoration of our Father up above
Who made them as He made us with a special work in mind
Unique in their own purpose of a very special kind
No others were created for designed for them to be
His helpers in the management of everything we see
From stars that rule the heavens that we see each cloudless night
To all the living creatures that we see come morning's light
In every place they have a purpose for which God designed
A reason for existing long before them in His mind
He chose for their existence in His universe of love
His Kingdom with a purpose that Christ Jesus told us of
And as they have their purpose we too have our own to be
Created in God's image born of love unique and free
A purpose no one else can fill when we choose to respond
To Love the way the angels do up in the great beyond
But in our great delusion that we have no purpose here
That all we are are creatures who've evolved to live in fear
Of death and its uncertainty of life and all its pain
We miss the greatest Gift of all Who died that we might gain
More than His pure forgiveness though this is His purpose too
But also honored usefulness to do as He would do
When humbled by His presence that encircles us each day
And honored by His calling to lead others in the Way
That leads to life eternal where no fear will be again
No fear of death or consequence for all our past of sin
Just holy high communion where the host of heaven sing
From hearts of pure devotion to our God Who made all things
So friend if you're in question what may be your purpose here
Just lift your voice to heaven and He'll make your purpose clear
When you lay on the altar all you are and hope to be
A child formed in His image one with Him eternally
Ecclesiastes 3:1-17; Acts 11:23
