If you ask me anything in my
name, I will do it (John 14:14)
My life is wary of a wild world;
I'm a stranger in a crusty clime!
What a drudge to live each day!
Yet the day guards its brightness,
night its darkness; yet to see sun
slow its course, moon its stroll.
The elements in a pact with God,
with God who abides by his Word;
who won't peddle a fake promise.
What grace to flourish in his love:
ask by faith and haul in his favors.
Dawn to dusk, love drips like dew.
In drought, fresh promises refresh
hearts that ask for showers to wet
the dry earth and honey from rock.
I bask and joy in asking; I've faith
in hope that grows with his Word;
ask till plodding turns to strolling
on the street of gold in God's glow.
In asking, I bask in God's presence.
