I met God

I met God.

I had always hoped I would

I had so many questions, so many accusations

So many times I wanted stuff, needed even

I put my hope on the line, did everything right

Fulfilled all my vows even when things were tight

One time I needed a promotion

I’d worked hard, worked day, worked night

Advancement was right there, just in sight.

Alas, some other person got the commendation.

I needed a child, God loves children

One would think that he would give me one

A child would get nothing but love from this heart

But here I am, with so much love, alone

I called Him out, He permitted me

I accused Him of unfairness, of abandonment

I knew I had a case against Him and His ways

I dared to ask Him why

You wanted so many things, He said

But wants are just wants

You never doubted my power I give you that

But you never asked

Ask and you will receive

Ask and I’ll give the nations to you

Ask in faith, not wavering

Ask, receive that your joy may be complete
