[Intro]
Ah, brothers, sisters, I just been lying there in my [pastor?], started listening at you in the prayer meeting this morning (Yes sir). You seem'ly each one of you be praying for the pastor (Yes sir). But I heard you ask the Lord for some things I don't think you'll ever obtain (Mm-mm). I heard you ask the Lord to walk heavy (Amen) up and down these aisles (Amen). And then I heard you tell the Lord sing His own song (Yes sir). And if He sang His own song, what you gonna do (Amen)? Then you asked the Lord to pray His own prayer (Yes sir). Who's the Lord gonna pray to? Then I ask— heard you ask thе Lord preach your own gospel (Yes sir), and I said to thе Lord then, "Lord, ah, don't answer his prayer," (Mm-mm) because the Lord give me that job, and you asking the Lord to take my job from me (Amen). I tell you, you ought to, ah, ask God for such things you 'specting to obtain (Yes sir), and quit gettin' down here on your knees asking for things you know that you are not expecting to ever obtain (Amen). You ought to sing this song some time and live according (Yes sir):
[Call And Response: Rev. J. M. Gates & All]
A charge to keep I have
A God to glorify
A charge (Everybody sing it) to keep I have
A God (Oh yes) to glorify
[Call And Response: Rev. J. M. Gates & All]
Who give His Son my soul to save
And fit it for the sky
Who gave (Oh Yes) His Son (Oh glory to God) my soul to save
And fit it for the sky
