ASKING THINGS FROM GOD
Asking things from God
Do not belittle us
But encourages
Reminding who is in control
Asking deepens our awareness
Of who God is
And what God sees
Encouraging us of Christ’s care
Laying out before Him
Our needs and plans
Helps us focus
On the things the Lord demands
Obedience is better than sacrifice
Listen as Christ gives
The things we get are burdens
Responsibilities to be met
Much can be learned
From the struggles of the poor
Many trust in Jesus
Even though they are poor
Life is more than mammon
Leave success at the door
Our Father loves completely
All have gifts galore
I am marked and unique
Tomorrow never comes
Today is when I serve Christ
The victory is already won
Now is when God hears me
Stop and speak your heart
Jesus offers comfort
Now is the time to start
Go to God with pleading
Ask for all you think
Our journey is majestic
The Lord is pleased to speak
