I Asked The Lord by Indelible Grace
I Asked The Lord
Capo:no capo
Intro: D G Bm G A
D
I asked the Lord that I might grow
G
In faith and love and every grace
Bm
Might more of His salvation know
G A
And seek more earnestly His face
D
Twas He who taught me thus to pray
G
And He I trust has answered prayer
Bm
But it has been in such a way
G A G A G A
As almost drove me to despair
D
I hoped that in some favored hour
G
At once He'd answer my request
Bm
And by His love's constraining power
G A
Subdue my sins and give me rest
D
Instead of this He made me feel
G
The hidden evils of my heart
Bm
And let the angry powers of Hell
G A G A G A
Assault my soul in every part
D
Yea more with His own hand He seemed
G
Intent to aggravate my woe
Bm
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
G A ( G A G A G A )
Cast out my feelings, laid me low
D
Lord why is this, I trembling cried
G
Wilt Thou pursue thy worm to death?
Bm
"Tis in this way" The Lord replied
G A
"I answer prayer for grace and faith"
D
"These inward trials I employ
G
From self and pride to set thee free
Bm
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
G A
That thou mayest seek thy all in me,
G A ( G A G A D )
That thou mayest seek thy all in me."
