Can I Get A Number Please?

Lord, can I get a number please?
Any moment, I will surely join the line
At the present, actually I'm doing just fine
Behind the strangers, the family members, and friends
Wait my turn and watch the line extend at both ends

Lord, can I get a number please?
I know that she has cancer and has been knocking at your door
I know he wants an answer and has been knocking at your door
I know they just lost their family pet and have been knocking at your door
I know I have no reason to fret, but I am knocking at your door

Lord, can I get a number please?
He prayed you would remove his grief
She prayed that the pain would be brief
They prayed this test would bring them no harm
All I prayed for was a lucky charm

Lord, can I get a number please?
Her trials and tribulations seem so difficult
His files and dissertations seem overbearing
Their cysts and cries seem so painful
My lists and sighs seem so painless

Lord, can I get a number please?
When you get a moment, I’d love to spend some time
Reviewing my dreams and desires behind this lengthy rhyme
When you have a chance, I’d hope we could sit down
Review that which made you smile and also made u frown
