[Verse 1]
The time has come for we must learn
To be more patient in our lives
We want, we need, and wait, we want more
We pray for our desires

[Pre-Chorus]
When things go wrong we start to worry
And say, "Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord why don't you help me with my problems?"

[Chorus]
But you know, He'll give us what we need
It may not be what you want
But no prayer in faith goes unanswered
He'll give us what we really need

[Post-Chorus]
Give us
Give us
Give us

[Verse 2]
When we pray we just can't wait
We tend to lose our self-control
But you know good things come to those who do
The faith in God is oh, so true
[Pre-Chorus]
When things go wrong we start to worry
And say, "Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord why don't you help me with my problems?"

[Chorus]
But you know, He'll give us what we need
It may not be what we want
But no prayer in faith goes unanswered
He'll give us what we really need

[Post-Chorus]
Give us what we really, really need (Give us)
Give us what we really, really need (Give us)
Give us what we really, really need (Give us)
What we need
Give us what we really, really need (Give us)
Give us what we really, really need (Give us)
Give us what we really, really need (Give us)

[Outro]
We want so many things, things we don't really need
Diamond rings and everything, we said, "Oh Lord, please?"
I want a car, a brand new car, you know I want more money
I'm beggin' you, Lord, just let me win, let me win the lottery
