This is the confidence that we have in him If we ask anything according to his will he hears us And we know that if he hears us We have what we ask him for And all things, whatever you shall ask You will receive them if you believe The spirit helps us because we are weak Because we don't know what we need So his spirit in us carries up our prayers For us in ways too deep for words When you pray, don't use empty words As the religious hypocrites do They think that they'll be heard Because they repeat boring phrases My children, don't be like them Your father knows what you need Before you even think to ask him Ask and it will be given to you Seek and you will find And it will open to you Your father who is in heaven Gives good things when you ask him This is the confidence that we have in him If we ask anything according to his will he hears us And we know that if he hears us We have what we ask him for
