Why am I here?

Why am I here?

The world is so large and I am so small
Why am I here?

So many people, places and things
Why am I here?

The world says, “You want it, you can have it”
Broke? There is still a way…
Why am I here?

I am told, “Worry about yourself and be happy”
Why am I here?

There is so much hurt all around us, pain, anger, bitterness
Why am I here?

There is never enough time in a day; it seems our priorities are work then family
Why am I here?

I try to make a difference, but what can one person do?
Why am I here?

The world is spinning, time is passing, and we are aging
Why am I here?

Are we to tell others, or just keep it in?
Why am I here?

It’s not easy being different; the world turns its back on you
Why am I here?

The truth must be told, it can’t stay a secret, they need to hear what will save them
But why am I here?

I kneel down to pray for all who are hurt and lost, I simply say
God, why am I here?

I know what I need to do, there is no turning back
Stand up and proclaim what I believe and pray God will lead the way
I will follow his straight and narrow path,
This world has lost its grip,
I only hope I can reach them before it’s too late.

There is no time to waste, every minute counts.
So what has God revealed?

This is why I am here!

To show his mercy and tell of his ever lasting love!
This is why I am here!

To preach the good news, and lead the lost to him.
This is why I am here!

I must go and tell all who will listen; this is why God made me,
This is my mission.

This is why I am here!
