[Verse 1]

G C/G G
I asked the Lord that I might grow

D Em Am D
In faith and love and ev’ry grace,

D Bm Gmaj7 Em7 C
Might more of His salvation know,

C Dsus D G
And seek more earnestly His face.

[Verse 2]

G C/G G
‘Twas He who taught me thus to pray,

D Em Am D
And He, I trust, has answered prayer,

D Bm Gmaj7 Em7 C
But it has been in such a way

C Dsus D G
As almost drove me to despair.

[Verse 3]

G C/G G
I hoped that in some favored hour

D Em Am D
At once He’d an-swer my request

D Bm Gmaj7 Em7 C
And, by His love’s constraining pow’r,

C Dsus D G
Subdue my sins and give me rest.

[Verse 4]

G C/G G
Instead of this, He made me feel

D Em Am D
The hidden e - vils of my heart

D Bm Gmaj7 Em7 C
And let the angry pow’rs of hell

C Dsus D G
Assault my soul in ev’ry part.

[Verse 5]

G C/G G
Yea, more with His own hand He seemed

D Em Am D
Intent to ag-gravate my woe,

D Bm Gmaj7 Em7 C
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,

C Dsus D G
Humbled my heart and laid me low.

[Verse 6]

G C/G G
“Lord, why is this,” I trembling cried;

D Em Am D
“Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death?”

D . Bm Gmaj7 Em7 C
“’Tis in this way,” the Lord replied,

C Dsus D G
“I answer prayer for grace and faith.”

[Verse 7]

G C/G G
“These inward trials I employ

D Em Am D
From self and pride to set thee free

D Bm Gmaj7 Em7 C
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
