Lyrics
Verse 1
If by now you don’t know your life’s
Purpose and function
Then you need to get in touch
With the Creator who be pumping
Truth through speakers, which features
A message to all creatures
We all need Jesus to free us
And eternally teach us
About the meaning of life
Existence of Christ
What it means to receive spiritual sight
And take flight
Like Nike Air and Mike Jordan
We ought to be sporting
What’s important to God now
And sharing it with the crowd
Hear me now, I’m Saved and I’m Proud
I’m speaking it loud
Confessing my Savior before men
So they get to know Him
And come on in, the family of God
Wants to receive you now
Plus the Lamb who is Christ
Wants to write your name down
In that Book that’s destined to be
The last role call
Please say present in His presence
Don’t be absent when He calls
Heaven awaits those
To walk through those gates
And the lake of fire awaits
Those who took satan’s bait
So what up
Chorus
I’m purpose driven which means I’m driven by God
I don’t drink and drive, so I stay alive
See, what you’re missing is a relationship with God
He can take you high, just sit back and ride
Verse 2
Ride with us
Matter of fact you can right shotgun
I’ll take the backseat
You take the front one
Roll the windows down
So everyone can see you
Christ be driving
Your past sins are in the rearview
A clear view’s ahead
With sunny and warm temperatures
There’s a 50% chance that a rainstorm
Will occur
Sometimes life’s a blur
Like a flash of lighting
Other times it’s slow paced
Like a senior citizen driving
So what I’m describing
In the midst of my rhyming
Is not designed to get you excited
But rather ignited
On fiyah for Christ
Cause life can pass you by
And if you let it pass you by
Without seizing the time
You’re not really fulfilling
Your life’s purpose on this earth
Why do you think God allowed you
To partake of your 1st birth
I’m telling you for what it’s worth
You better make an impact
In fact, get back on track
With He who’s coming back
Chorus
I’m purpose driven which means I’m driven by God
I don’t drink and drive, so I stay alive
See, what you’re missing is a relationship with God
He can take you high, just sit back and ride
Verse 3
Worldwide you can see
Everyone celebrating life
Now whether it’s the good life
Or the bad life
My advice is value life itself
Cause you ain’t have to make it
Some took it for granite
And now wish they could retake it
Ashame ain’t it
How we act on this planet
The devil’s running rampant
With sin as his next of kin
So please begin
To put some work in
Seek after Christ with your life
And get to know Him
And not just because you’re scared
Or fear the 2nd coming
Christians want for nothing
Trust me, I’m not fronting
Or stunting, nor pretending
When it’s pertaining to maintaining
Or should I say obtaining
Your salvation
Don’t be complacent
Don’t wait for next year
Now is the time to respond
To this new flavor in your ear
I pray my voice you hear
And to God you draw near
As He draws near to you
Your purpose in life will shine through baby
Chorus
I’m purpose driven which means I’m driven by God
I don’t drink and drive, so I stay alive
See, what you’re missing is a relationship with God
He can take you high, just sit back and ride
