I wonder if God's disappointed in most of us today.
We choose to walk in wickedness, instead of in His way.
He must be disappointed that few of us have sought
To live our lives in righteousness, the way that Jesus taught.

We ignore the many promises that He's so freely given,
Preferring to just "ride along," not caring where we're driven.
God's there for every one of us, if only we would care.
Our troubles and our problems He would so gladly bear.

He's promised He would answer, if only we would ask.
He promised to ease our burdens...lighten ever task.
He said that He would answer every prayer, if we believe
And the pain of living in this world, He would faithfully relieve.

He said to simply call on Him if our cross grew to heavy to bear
And in the mis'ry of our heartaches, He would end the dark despair.
He said, "Knock and it shall open...seek and you shall find,"
But how many of us do not keep these thoughts within our mind.

He promised us eternal life!  What greater love is there
Than what our Lord has offered us?  A joy beyond compare.
With faith that's only just as large as a tiny mstard seed,
We could do all things in Him...accomplish any deed.

Why can't we learn to take God's gifts and use them for His good?
Why can't we gain the faith we need to do the things we could?
We can, if we will put Him first, in mind and soul and heart.
Then all His gifts and promises, to us He will impart.
