What Are You Doing On This Planet

What are you doing on this planet?

Are you just walking around like a chick magnet?

Well I don't want to attract the wrong crowd

Coz that's not what I'm worried about

I'm here trying to save people from the power of hell [1] 

Proclaiming the truth of Jesus Christ, the true Gospel

I don't care if doesn't seem fancy to you

Coz I'd lay down my life for Him coz I know He's true

That's my vision, mission and my purpose in life

Not owning a huge place, a great job and a beautiful wife

Those things are needed but we need to keep our focus

On the One True God, Immanuel, "God with Us"  

Coz all these things will one day be left behind

And then it'll be too late to realize that we were blind

Following the god of this world and the things that he gives

Instead of coming to the Lord Jesus Christ the One who forgives

Who shed His precious blood to wash away our sins

Coz we were sinful from our mother's womb

That's why He died and was placed inside a tomb

But death couldn't hold Him, He resurrected bodily after three days

And now He gives abundantly to us from His amazing grace

So come to Him no matter how sinful you are

Coz He's so close that our breath seems far


[1] It is not me who saves but the Holy Spirit who convicts a sinner and brings him to the saving knowledge of Christ
