For the purpose that you created me

For the purpose that you created me...

In gladness - in sadness
I will worship you
In happiness - in stress
I will uplift you
For I am yours and you are mine.

In poverty - in richness
I will glorify You
I will stand firm by You
For You are forever here

Why must I kill myself to understand it all?
When you are here to teach and guide me through it all?
Why must I kill myself to understand it all?
When you are here with love to cover and restore me from my falls!

In sickness - in health
In persecution - in rejection
In life - in death, I submit to You, my all
Keep me, clean me, and use me
For the purpose that you created me.
