Bargaining -- Such an Odd Phase

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Bargain
© Sterling C. Franklin

Oh, Lord, I want something,
It seems so sublime,
So I thank You for listening,
And lending me Your time.
If only You’d bless me,
In this certain way,
I’d rejoice endlessly,
I’d do it every day!
I’d read the Bible better,
I’d pray extra hard,
I’d be kind to others,
I’d go the extra yard.
I’d speak more gently,
I’d give you my trust,
I’d do anything, Father,
I must have it, I must!

But how much more, really,
Is the Lord telling us,
In Me, dwell securely,
In Me you can trust.
In Me is fulfillment,
In Me is joy complete,
In Me you will prosper,
And never deplete.
In Me is salvation,
In Me is True Life,
In Me is the wisdom,
With which to live life.

So pray your heart out, child,
I hear every plea,
I deal with you justly,
Help your blind eyes to see.
Do those things anyway,
And faithfully go,
Show the world you’re a Christian,
Through even this grief, also.

But know that true joy,
May come with the light,
Just trust in Me fully,
Though you bargain at night.

For I love you, my dear child.

Psalm 20:4 - May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!
