Let me pause to thank you, Lord
For the victories that I have won
That without You, would not have scored
For wanting more than what I need
I ask forgiveness and now repent
My tomorrows are wrapped in hope
Because of Jesus, the Son You sent
Should I dare to feel short-changed
Because my neighbors wealth increases
Let me re-evaluate my worth--
Because I’m yours, I know what peace is
When I’m browsing just for fun
And greedy hunger bites and gnaws
Help me resist needless spending
Lead my heart to a worthy cause
This world is a selfish place
That grows worse each generation
Practicing motherly restraint
Brings teenage condemnation
Whenever doubts mislead me
To board that guilt-driven train,
Strengthen me, God, to stay the course
Teaching values that hush disdain
Our ancestors lived quite simply
Their nights were met with rest
Gratitude followed life’s blessings
Faith walked them through each trial and test
Tonight Lord, when I lay me down
Let me distinguish with humble heart
That things I want and things I need
Are earth and heavenly miles apart
