The Purpose of Life
by Larry McLemore

Many seek their purpose in life
as they go through trials and strife
If only it could be made more clear
I am sure we would realize why we are here

But some say we are here for that
while others say we are here for this
it doesn't take a genius to see something is amiss
Why can't we all agree,
is it because I am different than you
and you are different from me

The ones that can figure this out
will surely get the nod
for they are the ones that know
the purpose of life is only known by God

Or could it be
That God has made it for all to see
That the purpose of life
is in his book
If only we would take the time to look

Not for something we might think is wrong
but for that which we should long
A loving relationship with the only true God
who sent his Son, who saved us from the rod

No, the purpose of life is there if we look
all we have to do is pickup God's book
