You Only Need to Ask

It’s true that life so often brings

concerns and sometimes worry

And fraught with all its challenges,

we find we’re in a hurry…

To end the stress, forget the mess,

but wonder what to do.

The Lord has said, “Please come to me

and I will see you through.”

There is no need to feel afraid

of what might be the outcome,

Those fearful thoughts, they have no place,

for that’s where doubting comes from.

He tells you He will strengthen you

and help to ease your way.

He won’t erase your troubles

but He’ll bolster you each day…

To meet whatever plagues your thoughts,

He hears your every plea.

He says, “I’m here, my strength is yours,

for every single need.”

The God who made the world will bring

His power and His might.

He will not leave you on your own,

no, He will help you fight…

Your apprehensions for He knows

your human limitations…

Because He made you, loves you so,

and has no reservations…

About what is the best for you,

supports you so you’ll stand…

And face whatever worries you,

upholds you with His hand.

“Fear not,” He says, “for where you are,

that’s where I’ll always be!

No matter what, I’ll strengthen you,

believe it, for you’ll see…

That you can always count on me

to help you, come what may,

You only need to ask, my child,

you only need to pray.”
