Prayers of Pleading

With folded hands and humble heart
And down on bended knee,
Here all my longings I impart
And raise an earnest plea.
A plea for peace amid my fear,
A plea for my increase,
A plea for those that I call dear,
A plea for wars to cease.
A plea to lift my weary hands,
And all my sins forgive,
A plea to water thirsty lands
That all the world might live.
And just before I end the task
And close my prayer to Thee,
Did ever once I stop to ask
What Thou would ask of me?
Oh in my pleading earnestly
To bless and to renew,
May I stop to ask of Thee
What Thou would have me do?
