Lord,
We stand up for our rights,
Fight - sue - take.
When we think we have none,
Someone will say, "Yes you do."
We worry about losing what we have,
And work to make sure we don't.
Then I remember that you are there,
Defending me - maintaining my cause.
I open my grasping hands,
Emptying them to be able to receive.
You tell me to look at what I have now,
That this is what is rightfully mine.
And you promise that I will not miss -
One good thing.
