Avalon - Destined Lyrics
Lyrics
I have questions
You have answers
I have wounds
You heal with love
I am weak and you are mighty
Hungry and you fill me up
This was meant to be
When you created me
Chorus:
I was destined to love you
I was bound to adore you
Purpose to need you
Certian to want you
Designed to pursue you with praise
I was destined to love you
You define me with your greatness
I am shaked by mercy's hand
It's your word that gives me meaning
Yours forever, great I am
How can joy be known
It's in you alone
Chorus
I am called to worship you
I am called to worship you
I am called to worship you with all my heart
I am called to worship you
I am called to worship you
I am called to worship you with all my heart, With all my heart
Chorus

Destined (Avalon)
Meaning & Inspiration
Avalon's track "Destined," released on their 2009 album *Reborn*, offers a profound exploration of divine purpose and unyielding love, presented not as a mere song, but as a vibrant testament to a believer's relationship with God. The lyrics immediately establish a dynamic of dependence and fulfillment, where the singer articulates a deep sense of incompleteness and vulnerability ("I have questions," "I am weak," "Hungry") met by the divine with perfect answers, healing love, and abundant provision. This echoes the very creation narrative, as the line, "This was meant to be, When you created me," points to an inherent design and predetermined purpose within God's plan. The chorus powerfully declares this inherent destiny: "I was destined to love you, I was bound to adore you, Purpose to need you, Certain to want you, Designed to pursue you with praise." This isn't a casual inclination but a fundamental aspect of the singer's very being, aligning with scriptures like Ephesians 1:4-5 which speaks of being chosen in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight, and Romans 8:29, stating that those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. The song's progression moves from personal need to divine affirmation, recognizing that it is God's "greatness" that defines the singer, and His "mercy's hand" that shakes them into a posture of awe. The statement, "It's your word that gives me meaning," resonates deeply with verses like John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," and Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." The declaration, "Yours forever, great I am," directly references God's self-identification to Moses in Exodus 3:14, confirming His eternal and immutable nature. The realization that "How can joy be known, It's in you alone" underscores the scriptural truth that true and lasting joy is found not in worldly pursuits but in communion with the Creator, as expressed in Psalm 16:11: "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." The song culminates in a powerful and repeated call to worship, "I am called to worship you," a theme that permeates scripture, from the Old Testament's sacrificial system to the New Testament's exhortation in Romans 12:1 to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is our true and proper worship. The repeated emphasis on worshipping "with all my heart" speaks to the complete surrender and devotion that authentic faith demands, aligning with Jesus' teaching to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Ultimately, "Destined" is an anthem for the redeemed, a joyful affirmation of God's sovereign grace and the believer's divinely appointed role in loving and worshipping Him.
