 ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING

I sought an answer to my prayer

Is my Heav'nly Father there?

I wished to feel His heartfelt love

His arms around me from Above

Long I listened to them speak

These sacred men who from the peak

The love of God to us impart

They each reveal Christ's gentle heart

Their message firm, conviction real

Allowed His words in me to steal

Like Mary kneeling at Christ's side

And Martha's care with Him abide

Like Mary min'string to Christ's feet

With hair and love and tears replete

I wish to be to Christ a friend

To be there with Him at the end 

To return to heavenly home

Never from Their sides to roam

I found Christ's word entwines my soul

For I have found a firmer goal.
