The Cause to Call

"Call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me" (Psalm 50:15).

The day of trouble gives us pause
To call upon the Lord that day,
Yet we should not forget the cause:
To glorify Him when we pray.

Deliverance is not the aim
For which we earnestly should call,
But to glorify the name
Of Jesus Christ, the Lord of all.

Lord, we thank You for Your love
That governs every answered prayer,
That intercedes for us above,
And bids us cast on You each care.
