Asked

I asked God for strength,
I asked God for love,
I asked God for grace,
And I asked God for his dove.

God gave me strength,
And he gave me love,
God gave me his grace,
And gave me more than his dove.

He gave his angels,
In friends I can trust,
He gave me a family,
Who I will love to the dust.

But that's not all,
That's not the end,
He gave his son,
We sheep to tend.

His son he gave to take away our sins,
His son he gave, knowing the awful cost,
His son he gave, for all the world,
His son he gave on the blessed cross.

We ask for so much,
But we never really see,
All the things that were given,
Just so we could be.
