We make our petition as time passes by
As time goes on, we ask God why
Why does He not grant our request
He smiles down and says, “I know best”
When we go to pray
It may not immediately come our way
The fact we do not acquire
Does not mean He denies our desire
Sometimes we do not receive
Even though we fervently believe
We cannot know His will
Yet we know he means us no ill
Instead, when we go to pray
Simply ask Him to help us obey
If we seek to fulfill His purpose
Surely, His grace will astound us
He requires faith and obedience
Not strength and confidence
Confidence He will give
As well as strength to live
Hardships come our way
But against Him they cannot stay
Still we must do our part
Trusting He will guide our heart
How mighty is our Lord
Whose Word is our Sword
How great a love
From one who came as a dove
He offers peace to those who grieve
Whomever asks will receive
Grace that overflows
To wash away our woes
Be patient when you pray
He will never lead you astray
He will tell you where and when
Once the time arrives. Amen
