Prayer

I ask of you not a lot
For I rarely ask at all
And it's only when there is no other
And the world I fear may fall
So as I kneel before you
It is your help I'm begging for
Please Lord extend your arms
To the ill, the homeless and the poor
I pray you will look after them
Keep them warm at night
Please Lord help them find their strength
Give them courage to stand and fight
I rarely ask for anything
But the world it is starting to fall
Poverty is among us Lord
So please Lord bless us all

He can not help until we ask...and the ultimate asking--beyond living words, selfless thoughts and actions--is do all for love. Great inspirational read! Thank you!!
