What was I made for? Joy here and that is a question we all ask at some point in our lives. The search for meaning in this life is so powerful that its description in Billie Eilish's song, "What Was I Made For," united people all over the world. The song is featured in the Barbie movie and just won a Golden Globe. Truly, the song is hauntingly beautiful, but also incredibly sad. I couldn't help but wish there was a more hopeful version that shared the meaning and hope I have found in this life through my faith. So I wrote one... It felt weird to simply read it on the radio, so I pushed through my nerves and sang it. You can hear it below and read my lyrics that attempt to point to Jesus and what we were made for.

Original song from Billie Eilish

"When did it end? All the enjoyment I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend It's not what he's made for What was I made for?

'Cause I, 'cause I I don't know how to feel But I wanna try I don't know how to feel But someday I might Someday I might

Think I forgot how to be happy Something I'm not, but something I can be Something I wait for Something I'm made for Something I'm made for"

My version:

"When it all ends, all the enjoyment I’ll find again, real joy in your presence To be with my creator What was I was made for

'Cause you, 'cause you Defeated death for me I’m fully loved When I don't know how to feel I’ll trust your ways, not mine

I’ll trust your ways not mine

Praising your name, giving you glory Just to know you, and be known by you Something I long for Something I'm made for Something I'm made for
