You said, ask and you’ll receive
Whatever you need
You said, pray and I’ll hear from heaven
And I’ll heal your land
You said, Your glory will fill the earth
Like water the seas
You said, lift up your eyes
The harvest is here
The kingdom is near
You said
Ask and I’ll give the nations to you
Oh Lord that’s the cry of my heart
Distant shores and the islands
Will see your light
As it rises on us
Oh Lord I ask for the nations (repeat)
