To the Measure

To the measure you seek, you find And reaping comes after you sow. From the depths of humility known, Then to exaltation flown. To the measure you give, it is given And love fully granted, is earned. From self to selflessness learned: Then spectacular blessings return. To the measure you knock, it is opened And if you keep asking, it’s granted. When faith as a seed is planted Then the work of the devil, supplanted. To the measure you pray, He moves And petitions lifted, He hears. From mountains far to valleys near, Earnest prayers bend His ear. To the measure you weep, you’ll rejoice If a broken heart you surrender Joy unspeakable will be rendered And hope finds spectacular splendor. To the measure you never stop seeking And you weary the Lord with your pleas So God’s provisions will flow with ease And your longings, forever appeased. To the measure you believe that He IS… And that He rewards all who seek after New blessings from floor to the rafters Will endure in your life everlasting.
