Poetry
With Your lips these words were spoken:
"Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and it will be opened to you.
"For everyone who asks receives,
and he who seeks finds,
and to him who knocks it will be opened."
Now, Father,
I have more to ask,
and there is one thing I set first,
before anything else.
The one thing I want most,
is that Your kingdom be established.
It's not richness I seek,
nor is it honor.
I don't want a lavish life like a king,
but may the promise made to David hold true
when You said:
"I will set upon your throne
the fruit of your body,
if your sons will keep my covenant
and my testimony
which I shall teach them,
their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore."
I ask that You please
hear this prayer,
as I thank You, O Lord,
thank you for the courage to speak out,
thank you for the patience to endure the accuser,
who accuses me night and day,
for it is this patience which helps them
see You
through me,
Each accusation helps me,
give love in return,
and my trust and faith are made stronger,
teaching me,
"to judge not
that I may not be judged."
The only judgments I shall proclaim, Father,
are those out of your lips.
I hold fast to them,
they are my comfort.
Even when I am judged for what I do,
it's getting easier each day,
as I'm reminded,
this world hated You first,
before it hated me,
and it is truly an honor,
to strive to enter through the narrow gate.
I ask, Father,
May Your face shine through
each of Your servants,
that all You've promised
be established
through us,
May Your will be done.
I ask this in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty,
Who was, and is, and is to come.
