My Lord, I ask from Thee

I do not ask for riches nor for fame
Throughout this land
I seek not earthly pleasures
For through time they will not stand
But I’d like to ask for
An obedience to Thy Word
Through my every thought and action
I shall seek Thy kingdom first

My Lord, I ask from Thee
A faithful heart that’s willing
To forsake every comfort
This world could ever bring
A heart bent in submission
To love Thee with conviction
And the only riches I’ll seek
Are the treasures that are found in Thee

Lord, grant me strength with great resolve,
I’ll strive for what’s ahead
To serve Thee with a servant’s heart
No matter what it takes
Turn my heart away from
The temptations that I’ll face
Draw me near to Thee for
In Thy presence I will gladly stay...
