For there is a reason for living For my life the Lord keeps giving But it feels as if I need a reason To keep on going in this season I look to the world for guidance But all I have found is silence The things of this world do not fulfill One day health will fall downhill When all the money and stones are dust When all the silver and gold are rust What is my reason for living An empty life feels fitting But God has something more My path to hell is gone He has settled the score My life begins a new dawn The veil between now undrawn Freedom he has given me A beautiful purpose from thee I am forgiven no matter my flaws All of this world aside I must toss This new life I must share To all others who live in despair For your life is not a loss Behold the man upon a cross
This poem is inspired by Psalm 57:2 which says βI cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for meβ
