Not Always What You Want....

But always what you need!

The limitless powers that be
Grants wishes, prayers and hopes
We honor each other with praise reports

Not what you want...

Sing praises for moments when time stands still
Watch as life grows around you
Mistake not your misguided desire

But always what you need.

Praises for the removal of illness
Sorrow for the death of friends and family
Moments to ponder on just why things happen

Not always what you want...

Wanting so much to attain unbridled happiness
Watching change take place in front of us
Wondering what God has in store
Understanding you're made for so much more

But always what you need

Contemplation of opportunities past
Knowing that God grants you what you need
Knowing that it is not up to you
Everything is done in the appointed time.

Not always what you want...
But always what you need.
