All I Had To Do Was Ask

I stood on the mountain top
Held my hand toward the sky,
I wanted to touch heaven
But I couldn't reach that high
I just needed to feel His love inside
So I climbed on a large rock
Thinking I could reach heaven then I raised my hand
But it was still out of reach
so I climbed the tallest tree
And stood on a limb that seemed weak
and bent downward as I did
But I stood tall and reached high
Trying so hard
But never touching anything but an empty sky
So I climbed down the tree, jumped off the rock
Feeling alone and sad
I fell on my knees with tears in my eyes
I asked God why was he so far away
Why I couldn't touch him when I need so much
As I knelt there crying in silence
God Said "All you had to was ask"
And God gently reached down and picked me up
When I couldn't reach up God reached down
And I touched heaven while on my knees
All I had to do was ask.
