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
