Lord I need a favor
I've not
asked of You before.
Could You slow down the trouble
that's been knocking
at my door?
I've held the faith, stayed the course
and let my
fire burn,
but now I'm wondering, "Could You
give another soul a
turn?"
Lately, I can't do a thing
and have it turn out
right.
Every day's a battle,
every step an uphill fight.
I know I'm not the only one
who
walks a rocky road.
Why, the widow 'cross the street,
she carries quite a
heavy load.
And the man who owns the meat shop
closed his
business yesterday.
He's been diagnosed with cancer
and needs treatment
right away.
There's a couple at the corner store
with unshed
tears to weep.
They lost their son to drugs
and now the county pays his
keep.
You know... on second thought,
my troubles seem so very
small.
I don't need much of anything,
no favor after all.
The
joy I've known eclipses
every tear that I have cried.
And even when I
feel alone,
You never leave my side.
Thank You Lord, I'm
grateful
for this chance we've had to talk.
But if You'll please excuse
me,
I've a blessed road to walk.
