I wrote this song the day before my mom passed away. The Lord has shown me she was leaving us the next day at night. As hard as it was I wanted to remember that moment because the only thing that was carrying me through was knowing God was my purpose. I asked Him to give me a song so that I will not ever forget how He was carrying me and giving me strength. No matter what happens I know He will be there for me. He was truly merciful and gracious to me. I love Him so much!
Verse 1
Where would I be Lord today
Without You in my life working in me
I’d be feeling lost in my heart
Knowing You are my life gives me peace
Chorus
Oh You are my purpose
And You are my strength
I can only face
This life I’m living in
Lord because of You
For You give me meaning
To help me carry on
I can make it through
Despite of all my pain
For You are my purpose
Verse 2
Here’s my life for You again
I commit it all to following You
Only You can fill and satisfy
You give me peace in this time of my sorrow
Chorus
Oh You are my purpose
And You are my strength
I can only face
This life I’m living in
Lord because of You
For You give me meaning
To help me carry on
I can make it through
Despite of all my pain
For You are my purpose
Chorus
Oh You are my purpose
Oh You are my strength
I can only face
This life I’m living in
Lord because of You
For You give me meaning
To help me carry on
Oh I can make it through
Despite of all my pain
For You are my purpose
Coda
Oh I can make it through
Despite of all my pain
For You are my purpose
You are my purpose
