I ask so much of You, dear Lord
Each evening when I pray,
So many things, it seems I need
To help me, through the day,
I need your guidance and support
When crossroads come in view,
I'd never know which road to take,
Were I not shown by You,
You give so much, yet still I ask,
For self, family and friends,
You must think I am greedy Lord,
For the asking never ends,
You understand my needs so well,
Far better than I do,
What time is right for this or that,
Which avenue to pursue,
But when You give a special day,
A reassurance that You care,
It's so easy to accept it Lord
And forget my thanks in prayer,
So before the day is very old
I will quietly steal away
To give my thanks for the special joy
You have given on this day.
