Ask in His Name

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

Lord, let me be blinded
And led by your hand
So, I can do everything
That you command
I’ll follow closely
Or stay by your side
If you’ll just take me
Along for the ride

I want to go with you
I feel that I must
O Father I know
It’s a matter of trust
Love is not something
That you can grasp
But it is given freely
To all who will ask

Ask that Jesus will be your Savior!
And take you along for the ride
