What Are You Doing Here
What are you doing here? Are you where you're supposed to be?
What are you doing here? It's not just a question of curiosity
We are not always where we need to be when it comes to God
We are often times out of our place and trouble tends to start
As God has a predestined purpose for us on his mind
And when we are not where we need to be we usually find
Ourselves in situations that aren't conducive to our destiny
Stuck in those places where God does not want us to be
Now Elisha was in a cave hiding from Queen Jezebel
Hurt, hungry, confused, overcomed and overwhelmed
Then God sent an angel with food and supplies
And the Holy Spirt descended and asked Elisha why
Are you still in this cave stuck in this hole?
God has sent you a directive to go out and be bold
Jezebel has no authority as it's God who runs this show
Get up and get moving to where God has told you to go
Many of us have allowed fear, disappointments and shame
To turn us into cave dwellers stuck in mental places of pain
Feelings of abandonment, depression and despair
Have caused us to have forgotten that God is and will always be there
The same God that watched over Daniel when he was in the lions den
The same God that was in the inferno with those three young Jewish men
The same God that parted the Red Sea to save the Israelites
The same God Who somehow sent you money when ConEd was about to turn off your lights
The same God Who has always given you the strength to cope
The same God that gave us His love a sound mind and the spirit of hope
Yes there will be wilderness periods and desert terrains
Just trust and believe in the One whose name is above all other names
Never forget who you are and whose you are as well
You're a child of the Living God who defeated death and hell
So what are you doing here? I need you to understand
That your mental, physical and spiritual well-being are firmly in God's hands
Now pick yourself up and put on your big pants
No matter how you're feeling just get up and simply stand
Pull yourself together and gird up your loins
Remember you're with Jesus and have it going on
Just reposition yourself and get to the place of worship and praise
Now in the presence of God with your hands and voice raised
Ready to pursue your purpose and let your destiny manifest
Now full of the Holy Spirit highly favored and totally blessed
So what are you doing here? Are you where you should be?
What are you doing here? I hope fulfilling your destiny
