When Andrew Macdonald finished his first album—a concept album about lifelong love—he recognized how music can be used to share meaningful, impactful, and inspirational truths about faith. This song, "Purpose," has been almost two years in the making and will be the title track of an album that is still in the works.
The lyrics are like a conversation with yourself, gently encouraging you to live each day with new meaning. There's no thunderous call here—"It's a quiet calling // Deep in your heart," waiting for you to listen carefully. When things go wrong in life, don't look at those challenges as roadblocks! See each challenge as a stepping stone that brings you closer to finding and understanding your unique "why" in God's plan.
The key message of this song is that readiness matters more than grandeur. Look at how Macdonald puts it: "Maybe it's your family // Maybe it's your love // Maybe it's a neighbor // You're there for when they call // Doesn't matter if its grand // Doesn't matter if its small // Only matters that you're ready // When you hear life's call"
Respond to life's calls with love, kindness, and faith. Ultimately, our goal is to leave the world a better place than we found it, living intentionally, and doing everything for God's glory.
May this song remind you that purpose isn't something that you happen to stumble upon—it's something that you create every single day, and above all, you create it together with God.
