IN JESUS NAME.
Many times I sought the Lord,
I pleaded night and day.
To save the ones so dear to me,
So faithfully and earnest I would pray.
I pleaded, Lord, you promised,
Please hear my prayer today.
I repented and you saved me,
But my house you have not saved.

With tears I pleaded so often,
But God did not grant my wish.
Then I began to wonder why,
Could I be asking Him amiss?
My request I knew was in His will,
This I knew for sure.
His desire to save my loved ones,
Was greater than mine by far.

Each day I prayed, "O, please today,
Before it is too late."
If you would truly save my house,
Dear Lord, why must I wait?
Then one day I saw the light,
How could I have been so blind;
Was I trying to rush God's mighty plan,
For my own peace of mind?

Then I cried, "O Holy God,
Thy will not mine be done.
In Thine own way and Thine own time,
And in the name of Thy Blessed Son."
Selfishly I'd prayed before,
And I had prayed in vain.
But now I know God hears my prayer,
For I truly pray IN JESUS NAME.
