A Humble Prayer
If I would humbly pray beyond
The greed of my own wants
And ask the Lord to please respond
With His will to always be done
I believe I would have a chance
To worship in a way He accepts
In a genuineness that would dance
As David once sent up his praise
If I could ask the Lord to bless
Another precious soul in need
I wouldn’t have to take a guess
At the joy He would send to me
I believe His unconditional love
Follows the authentic petition
Of one who knows to speak of
Someone else’s hopes and needs
If I might acknowledge His gifts
The ways He sends me blessings
Giving thanksgiving that shifts
My heart toward His own purposes
I believe He would answer the appeal
With mercy, grace and assurance
That the answer He is giving as I kneel
Is one that is perfectly agreeable
If I were to venture toward worshiping
With praises that ring truer each day
There isn’t a doubt the eternal King
Would bless my every supplication
I believe that I can do God’s will
Through praying with a generous spirit
Toward the many who He would instill
A spirit of hope, faith and love without conditions.
