Why we exist

Why we exist

Joel Howard

Ever ask why?

You and I?

Why you and I are here?

Reading Psalm 8

I found it clear:

God's glory is above the clouds

And babies sing out loud

For reasons none but this:

This is why we exist:

To shut Satan up

Him and all his minions

Who 'fore the earth was made

Proud heads did then raise

Instead of just shutting Satan up once

Which God could have certainly done

Sending him to Hades

The battle, won

God instead, made you and I

Now this is the reason why:

When you and I choose God

It ties Satan up in knots

When Father, I choose You

It makes Satan's worst dreams come true!

Psalm 2 depicts You laugh out loud

Why? In microcosm, your point abounds:

Satan can't and never will win

So every Christian time and again

Who chooses You in face of doubt

Gives Jesus the Champion the title bout

Gives Him one more thing to boast about

And one more zing for which Satan can pout

Forever in the flames of hell

Your faith and mine will in his brain re-tell

Grinding teeth and sulfered smell

Satan and his demons under this spell:

That God was not only right in heaven

True in reigning, true in dominion

God was also true on earth

Million times a million were birthed

Who chose the Maker, chose his Way

Chose his Savior, Jesus' name

Chose his Spirit, chose again

Even to death, chose him then

Satan grimaces, demons roar

That is what we're all here for

So which side of Science will you be on?

As God tests man - a million and one

Which side will you choose this day?

The road to hell, or the Jesus way?

Jesus in you would make his boast today

So Satan sweats a bit more, I say

Come with me, come and die

To all other loves, in Him confide

Who crafted every single life

Some for glory, some for destruction

But all for this single direction:

Squashing Satan's filthy pride

Each time we give God our eye

Join, O join the Jesus' side

Join, O join, in Him confide
