Notes About The Poem

Why- Am I Here Do You Need Me Lord Oh God--

Why Am I here do you Need me Lord
The reason why we are here,
Worship
The reason why, we’re here,
To give praise
The reason why we’re here
God DOESN’T need us
Why Am I here do you Need me Lord
Yet, He created us, AMEN
He made us like angels
Yet just a little bit higher
He made us for His pleasure,
In his image He created us
He made us to be caretakers
Part takers
Co-parents
He made us He Himself in the image
Of God and angels
Alas we sinned
We are the blame, who blames us
Why not ourselves, So God came down in flesh
In the person of Jesus the Christ
To save us all the believers and the lost
Yet, He created us, AMEN
Why Am I here do you Need me Lord
He made us like angels
Yet just a little bit higher
He made us for His pleasure,
In his image He created us
He made us to be caretakers
Cultivate be caretaker of God earth, this world
Part takers
Co-parent, humanity
He made us He Himself in the image
Of God and angels
No matter what I do O God
You’re my everything
and Father I NEED you
And all the love you bring
Love all you say and do
I need you, Lord I really do need you
Why Am I here do you Need me Lord
Lord, I need you
I need you, forever I do
I need you
NEED YOU
The reason why we are here,
Worship
The reason why, we’re here,
To give praise
The reason why we’re here
God DOESN’T need us
Yet, He created us, AMEN
Your spirit within me is the Breath I breathe
For without it I’m just “gone” misplaced energy;
Breath in me
In me YOU breathe
Why Am I here do you Need me Lord
The reason why we are here
 Is to praise you…
