Lyrics Dear God - Claudette

Hi, Lord
Tell me how it works there

I imagine that You mostly receive questions and requests
Am I wrong?
I just say what I see down here
I don't ask for favors
I just say thank You, because even without asking
I obtain greatness from You

I know about the gifts, about the miracles
I know about requests and the ordeals
But the honest truth, my dear God
I think You are not there to grant miracles by request
There is no line to stand in
No favors are granted to those who ask louder
More frequently or with more faith

I thank You for the miracles of life each day
Because without asking I obtain more than
I could ever imagine from You
I get challenges that make me stronger and wiser
Gifts that bring me closer to you
You are my Father

I, Lord, can only thank You for the satisfactions, the vicissitudes
And all those moments that make us feel human and lower our ego
Thanks for the seconds, hours or days
That teach us how little money, skin color and the origin of people matter
Thank You for the words, thank You for doubts
Because they hurt us and teach us that not everything is written in life
That I have a lot to learn and that the task is mine alone

Lord, I don't ask you for anything, I just give thanks
I don't need to ask for anything, because you know me like no one else

I believe that you are not there to give gifts or perform miracles
Not to give us the fish when we ask for it, but to teach us how to fish
I think it's not about who prays more or harder
But about valuing who we are and what we already have
I think, Lord, You are there to teach us humility and strength love among us
If we don't love each other, why would even ask for miracles, right?

Lord, am I wrong?
Dear God, You are my Father
