Sarah K - ASK - Ask and it Shall be Given Unto You Lyrics

Lyrics

Ask and it shall be given unto you
Seek and you shall find
Knock and the door shall be opened unto you
Hallelu-Halleluyah

Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His rightousness
And all this things shall be added unto You
Hallelu-Halleluyah

Man shall not live by bread alone
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of the Lord
Hallelu-Halleluyah

Halleluyah Halleluyah
Halleluyah Halleluyah
Hallelu-Halleluyah

Praise God, praise God
Praise God, praise God
Hallelu-Halleluyah

Lift God, lift God
Hallelu-Halleluyah

Meaning & Inspiration

Dr. Sarah K & Shachah Team's "ASK - Ask and it Shall be Given Unto You," released on May 23, 2019, is a profound musical declaration rooted in the core tenets of faith, offering a powerful affirmation of divine promise and provision. The song’s strength lies not in complex musical arrangements, but in its direct and unwavering embrace of Scripture, transforming scriptural truths into a vibrant anthem of hope. The central message is an invitation to active engagement with the divine, emphasizing that consistent and earnest prayer—framed through the actions of asking, seeking, and knocking—is met with divine responsiveness. This resonates directly with the promise found in Matthew 7:7-8, which forms the backbone of the song's lyrical foundation: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened." The repetition of these lines throughout the track serves to solidify this foundational belief, creating a meditative and encouraging space for listeners to internalize the assurance of God's attentiveness.

Beyond the immediate act of supplication, "ASK" expands its theological scope to highlight the ultimate priority of spiritual alignment. The inclusion of the lines about seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, with the assurance that all other needs will be met, directly echoes the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6:33. This verse is a cornerstone of Christian teaching on stewardship and trust, reminding believers that placing God at the center of their lives inherently reorders priorities and invites divine favor in practical matters. The song's insistence on living by "every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord" further grounds the listener in the spiritual sustenance that transcends material needs, a direct reference to Deuteronomy 8:3 and Jesus' own temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:4). This lyrical choice underscores the song's commitment to a holistic understanding of divine interaction, one that nourishes both the spirit and the daily walk of faith. The persistent invocation of "Hallelu-Halleluyah" and phrases of praise like "Praise God" and "Lift God" are more than mere affirmations; they are expressions of worship that acknowledge the sovereignty and goodness of God, transforming the song into a communal act of devotion. In its entirety, "ASK" is a masterful distillation of biblical promises, offering a clear and inspiring pathway to a deeper, more confident relationship with God through persistent faith and a focus on the eternal.
