Purpose of Life = Reason to Die For

I’ve hadn’t heard this song for awhile until this morning and it just really helped me refocus my perspective and my priorities in life. Read through these lyrics – do you agree? – that you will never know why you are alive until you know what you would die for?? I do. I think it makes perfect sense.

“I Would Die For You” by MercyMe

And I know that I can find You here
‘Cause You promised me You’ll always be there
Times like these, it’s hard to see
But somehow I have a peace, You’re near
And I pray that You will use my life
In whatever way Your name is glorified
Even if surrendering
Means leaving everything behind

My life has never been this clear
Now I know the reason why I’m here
You never know why You’re alive
Until you know what you would die for
I would die for You

And I know I don’t have much to give
But I promise You I will give You all there is
Can I possibly do less
When through Your own death I live?

No greater love is found
Than of those who lay their own lives down
As sure as I live and breathe
Now I know what it means to be free
