Lyrics
Of all of the pleas I could carry to prayer,
Of things I could ask and receive,
I have one petition that haunts all my cares,
I ask wisdom and strength for me,
My burdens are many for all people here,
I carry them swift to Your throne,
But, there's just one request, for myself, I bear,
That Your wisdom and strength I be shown,
The wisdom I seek
--is that of the meek,
To be kept aware of my path
--that Your loving good will has cast,
The strength that I ask
--is the strength for the task,
The task to accept and achieve
--what Your good will has deemed right for me,
I knock and the door shall be open to me,
I know if I seek I shall find,
my prayer to You, now and forever, shall be
--that Your good will be also mine---
--and my wisdom and strength be divine,
