Song – Ask and It Will Be Given Unto You – Matthew 7:7-12

This is a 12 bar blues song rendering fairly closely Jesus’ words of Matthew 7:7-12. I like the sound of 12 bar blues – to me it is not sad but kind of happy!

Words:

Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you, it will be opened to you

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door will be opened.

Or what man is there among you, who if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? He won’t give him a stone.
Or if he asks or a fish, will he give him a serpent, no he won’t.

If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
Therefore whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
