Sometimes things just may not turn out right. Have you ever told somebody that everything seems to turn out wrong today? To some, this may be due to "fung sui" which is not right and that is why you are experiencing a stream of "bad luck". Some may tell you that you forgot to read your stars today. Have you heard of the story of Job? Job is a rich man and has always thank God for the riches he has gained. The devil challenge God saying that if he is given permission, to act of Job, Job will eventually curse God. God gave the devil the permission to inflict on Job whatever he wants to. One thing led to another, as slowly Job began to loose all that he has gained. His wife even advised him to curse God but he did not. God knows your limits and He will not allowed your faith to be tested beyond what you can take. He just will not allow the devil to go overboard and that's His promise to you. ("And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will provide a way out so that you can stand up under it" - 1 Corinthians 10:13.) So as his children, just cry out to Him and He will listen and take care of you needs. If He did not give you the opportunity to be tested, how would you be purified? Just like gold, which has to undergo the furnace for purification, so can you! "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." 1 Peter 6,7. There may be a few circumstances in you life that may tempt you to stray away from God just as the song implies. Keep these verses close to you heart and every time you face a down period of you life just remember :- "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7.

1st verse

When you woke up and feel rather blue
What are you looking, looking for.
When your love one bites on you,
What are you looking, looking for.

When the day doesn't seem to be so right.,
What are you fighting, fighting for.
When your colleagues not on your side,
What are you fighting, fighting for.

Bridge

All these time yeh e yeh,
You've been relying on yourself,
Your heart cries out, why it has to be…… me!

Chorus (1st)

Knock and the door would open up for you,
Seek and you will find it, you will find it,
Why don't you ask Him, why don't you ask Him,
Cause it will be given to you,
it shall be given to you,
Yes it shall be given to you, like a father to his son.

2nd verse

When you saw a policeman at your door,
What are you thinking, thinking about.
When he tell you you've been breaking the law,
What are you thinking, thinking about.

Tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
What are you living, living for.
When the water rises above your nose,
What are you living, living for. Bridge

Chorus

Knock and the door would be open up for you,
Seek and you will find it, you will find it,
Why don't you ask Him, why don't you ask Him,
Cause it will be given to you,
it shall be given to you,
Yes it shall be given to you, like a father to his son.

Bridge Chorus

Knock and the door would be open up for you,
Seek and you will find it, you will find it,
Why don't you ask Him, why don't you ask Him,
Cause it will be given to you,
it shall be given to you,
Yes it shall be given to you, like a father to his son.

And Jesus said,

Finale

"Knock and the door would be open up for you,
Seek and you will find it you will find it,
Why don't you ask Me, why don't you ask Me,
Cos I would have given to you,
I would have given to you,
Yes I would have given to you, like a father to his son".

Cause it will be given to you,
and it shall be given to you,
Yes it shall be given to you, like a father to his son.
