I Asked the Lord
================
w&m: Johnny Lange & Jimmy Duncan, 1955

[Chorus 1]
I asked the Lord to comfort me when things weren't going my way,
He said to me, "I will comfort you and lift your cares away."

[Chorus 2]
I asked the Lord to walk with me, when darkness was all that I knew;
He said to me "Never be afraid, for I will see you through."

[Verse]
I didn't ask for riches, He gave me wealth untold.
The moon, the stars, the sun, the sky, And gave me eyes to behold!

[Chorus 3]
I thank the Lord for ev'rything, And I count all my blessings each day.
He came to me when I needed Him, I only had to pray.

[Coda]
And He'll come to you if you ask Him to.
He's only a prayer away.
