Pray, Trust, Obey by Rev. Dr. Fred M. Lassonde
Pray, Trust, Obey by Rev. Dr. Fred M. Lassonde
I look up into the Sky
I pray for God's children
I am beyond asking why
only ask what to do then
Now many suffer and they cry
and many look up to the Sky
Wondering what to do then
as they pray for God's children
We may or may not know why
We all suffer as we all do
Yet we look up to the Sky
While you pray for me and I pray for you
Now I will tell you this much
We are to love such and such
Not to hate or fight anymore
Trust and ask God not to even the score
For most people know not what they do
When they hurt me or you
Most do as they do in this fallen world
Not being God's boy or girl
They need to know God as we do
On our knees we look up to the Sky
We close our eyes me and you
We obey, pray and we often cry
For this World is full of pain
On and on sunshine or rain
If not for God our Savior
There would be no hope for this behavior
I look up into the Sky
I pray for God's children
I am beyond asking why
only ask what to do then
Would you join me in doing this
Would you join me in this endeavor
Together our prayers will not go amiss
Let us kneel as we pray, as we pray together
Let us pray for all who need it
Including those who are not of us
Including those who do not commit
To God, to our Savior Jesus
Yes, let us pray to our God and King
For where He is there is His Kingdom
For where God is Freedom does ring
Yes, as we pray our souls know their Freedom
So as we look up into the Sky
As we pray for all God's children
We are beyond asking why
only ask Sire what to do then
