How Could I Ask for More - Christy Nockels

There’s nothing like the warmth of a summer afternoon

Waking to the sunlight, being cradled by the moon

Catching fireflies at night

Building castles in the sand

Kissing Mama’s face goodnight

And holding Daddy’s hand

Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more

Running barefoot through the grass

A little hide and go seek

Being so in love, that you can hardly eat

Dancing in the dark, when there’s no one else around

Being bundled 'neath the covers, watching snow

Fall to the ground

Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more

So many things I thought would bring me happiness

Some dreams that are realities today

Such an irony of things that mean the most to me

Are the memories that I’ve made along the way

So if there’s anything I’ve learned

From this journey I am on

Simple truce will keep you going

Simple love will keep you strong

Cause there are questions without answers

And flames that never die

And heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise

So thank you Lord, How thank you Lord

How could I ask for more
