What Would I Be Saying

Lord, what would I be saying if I should stop praying-- Except that I do not need You and I much rather live my way! Would I be saying I don't need Your wisdom, at every crossroad that I shall come to, Or I don't need Your strength at all when the storms of trials should fall? Would I also be saying that I have a love that already overflows; That my heart has been stretched to it's fullest and in it there is no need to grow? But that would be a lie! For I know I must never stop praying, seeking You continuously to show me Your way. I need Your perfect wisdom to guide me in all of life's decisions! I pray at the coming of every dark cloud, because only in You I can stand, For You are my strong tower, the One who strengthens me by Your hand. I know I so often fall short, when I should show others love, And I pray that love be increased in me, as Your grace is poured out from above.
