Children of Purpose
She was searching, so she asked me,
if I had what she was missing!
I shook my head, yet I could see,
she had the eyes of disbelief!
Then she fumbled in her pocket...
and found the thing that she desired.
She said, "Sorry!" then she passed me
but I wondered why she judged me!
Why are we so apt,
to blame another?
When we hold the treasure,
yet to be discovered!
Somewhere in our soul,
we know the path to hope...
but still we find, we're searching,
for a place that feels like home!
Even before
the beginning of time,
God saw our birth
and claimed, "They're mine!"
We are children of purpose,
children of light!
This is our moment.
Our moment is life!
There is nothing,
there is no one,
that can block us,
from God's great love!
He created
something different,
in each one,
to show He's present!
God sees us now,
even our death,
so we can trust
He guides our steps!
We've a knowledge,
the world can't grasp
and yet, we're prone
to wear a mask.
Why are we so apt,
to show resistance?
When we hold a promise,
yet to come into fruition!
Somewhere in our core,
a key unlocks the door...
but still we get frustrated,
as our flesh desires more!
Even before
the beginning of time,
God saw our birth
and claimed, "They're mine!"
We are children of purpose,
children of light!
This is our moment.
Our moment is life!
So, we feel a longing,
for something we've been missing,
only to discover,
it was always in our keeping!
A dream was placed upon our path,
long before our birth!
Just because we haven't reached it,
doesn't mean it's not of worth!
Sometimes, we can't see,
that the very thing we need,
has been hidden deep inside us,
planted like a seed!
So, how do we unearth it?
Faith has a purpose!
As we grow, we will learn,
that God's timing is perfect!
