I asked the Lord

I asked the Lord to comfort me
when things weren't going my way,
Am He said to me, "I will comfort you
And lift your cares away."

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."

Am 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.

I thank the Lord for ev'ry - thing,
And I count my blessings each day,
He came to me when I needed Him,
I only had to pray,
And He'll come to you if you ask Him to,
He's only a pray'r away.
