As You Praise Me



I will not be your back-up plan.
You need to seek me first.
Do not pray, "Just in case" and don't
Pray 'cause "It can not hurt".

Do not wait 'till you've tried all else.
That is not faith in Me.
I must be first and last with you.
No more of, "Wait and see".

You must pray hard and pray about
The things that you were taught
By Jesus Christ and have no doubt
As you praise Me a lot.
