Who hath saved us,
and called us with
an holy calling, not
according to our
works, but according
to his own purpose
and grace, which
was given us in
Christ Jesus before
the world began.
II Tim. 1:9

God set a purpose for each life,
Before ever the world began:
Some to teach, and some to preach
The Word to sinful man.

Some may be missionaries,
In countries so far away,
While some may only serve at home,
It's up to God to say.

Each person is important,
In God's eternal scheme.
Each one has a special place;
We're all part of God's team.

Seek God's purpose for your life,
Each and every day you live,
And give to Him your very best,
Till you've nothing left to give.

For in this there is true happiness,
Great reward will be yours, too.
Give your very best to God,
For He gave His best for you!
