Our market research team bring skills I don't have.

Their business is assessing market needs,

Product usage, geographic trends, price changes,

Competitor activity, new products,

And many other variables.

Responding to their data makes our business more efficient,

And therefore more profitable with

Limited resources directed optimally.

They are particularly good with numbers.

Graphs, pie charts, tables, statistics.

Their business is data.

Perhaps there are some lessons I can learn here, Lord.

I know that you have infinite resources, [1,2]

But I still waste them sometimes.

And although you are not restricted by time and space,

We are, and frequently miss opportunities.

Everybody needs your eternal message of good news. [3]

We need to think carefully, and follow your lead,

In creative presentation.

I sense that your market research is finely tuned, Lord.

You know our needs, day-by-day, minute-by-minute,

And will supply them. [4]

May I be your agent in sharing your love,

With efficient market penetration.
