Ask the Lord For the Strength You Need

M-ay you reach the finish line, 
A-s you run the race of life; 
Y-our faith, hope, and love will help you win over the strife.

A-sk the Lord for the strength you need, 
N-o more reason to doubt; 
N-ight fears flee from mind for God knows no drought.

A-sk the Lord for the courage you need, 
L-et Him bring blessing to you; 
A-llow Him to guide your way, 
B-y receiving the message so true.
A-sk the Lord for fine weather; 
S-eek refuge and shelter; 
T-hird day of May is good, 
R-ain and chill shall be
O-ver.

L-earn to pay full attention, 
A-lmighty God you must heed; 
B-rave the storms ahead, 
A-sk the Lord for the strength you
N-eed.
