Verse 1
As sons and daughters
We’re coming to our father
knowing every word you say is true
you're the one who is able
you seat us at your table
Everything we need is found in you
Chorus
You said as and it will be given
seek and you will find
knock and the door will be open
you will answer ever time
Verse 2
As sons and daughters
We’re coming to our father
knowing every word you say is true
we ask for wisdom
Lord give us revelation
here we are we just want more of you
Chorus
You said ask and it will be given
Seek and you will find
Knock and the door will be open
you will answer ever time
(You said) Ask and it will be given
Seek and you will find
Knock and the door will be open
you will answer ever time
Bridge
How much more will you give to your kids who are asking
when every good thing comes from you
so with great expectation and faith in your promise
we won't stop asking
we won't stop singing
we won't stop knocking
for the one who is faithful and true
Tag
you are faithful and true

Meaning & Inspiration
ASK builds its prayer around Christ’s invitation to ask, seek, and knock. The singers approach God as sons and daughters who trust the Father’s words and believe that every true need is found in him. Requests for wisdom and revelation give the lyric a clear spiritual focus, while the repeated chorus turns persistence in prayer into an expression of confidence rather than anxiety. The bridge strengthens that confidence by describing God as faithful and as the source of every good gift.
The chorus closely follows Matthew 7, where Jesus promises a response to those who ask, seek, and knock and then compares God’s generosity with a parent’s care. The request for wisdom also corresponds directly with James, who tells those lacking wisdom to ask God. By returning to these promises, the song presents prayer as a family privilege grounded in the Father’s character. Continued asking, singing, and knocking become signs of expectant faith in the One whose truthfulness does not change.
