pur·pose
(noun) the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.
(verb) have as one’s intention or objective.
What is your purpose?
When you hear this question what comes to mind. For me I would say my purpose is understanding. Understanding of self and of others, but more importantly my spiritual relationship. This past year I wrote a song (a cover of Xscape’s Understanding) that was a prayer/conversation with God asking for His understanding of the world around me and understanding my purpose in this world.
Chorus
God what I seek from You is understanding
How can we communicate if I don’t hear what you say
What I seek from God is understanding,
So simple as ABC
Understanding is what I seek.
Verse 1
You already know me,
And I wanna do what I wanna do
That’s not the way it can be no
I should of listened to You (I gotta listen to You)
I try so very hard to keep Your word alive
But the choices I made God I am all to blame.
The Lift
I try so very hard
To keep my faith alive
But if I don’t want to meet you half way
Then my heart for you can’t survive
There’s no way that I can do it all
If I don’t bow before you
I don’t mean to be demanding
But I seek your understanding
I wanna be with you
(Chorus 1x)
Verse 2
You listen to me daily
And you know the trials I’m going through
I try to fight it too
That’s why we talk it through
See every day I’m living is one that will always be unsure
That’s why I need you, Father, pleading Father
Please let Your love endure
The Lift
I try so very hard
To keep my hope alive
But if I don’t want to meet you along the way
Then my mind won’t survive
There’s no way that I can do it all
If I don’t talk with you
I don’t mean to be demanding
But I seek your understanding
I wanna be with Christ
(Chorus 1x)
Bridge
I try so very hard
To keep your word alive
But if I don’t want to meet You halfway
Then my understanding dies
There’s no way that I will do it all
If I don’t have praises for You
Yes, I have to proclaim it
I seek your understanding
I wanna be with You
(Chorus 2x)
