Life without purpose is barren indeed

There can't be a harvest unless you plant seed There can't be attainment unless there's a goal

And man's but a robot unless there's a soul



If we send no ships out, no ships will come in

And unless there's a contest, nobody can't win

For games can't be won unless they are played

And prayers can't be answered unless they are prayed



So whatever is wrong with your life today

You'll find a solution if you kneel down and pray

Not just for pleasure, enjoyment and health

Not just for honors and prestige and wealth



But pray for a purpose to make life worth giving

And pray for the joy of unselfish giving

For great is your gladness and rich your reward

When you make your life's purpose the choice of the Lord.
