D G Bm G A

Intro:

I asked the Lord that I might grow

In faith and love and every grace

Might more of His salvation know

G A

And seek more earnestly His face

Twas He who taught me thus to pray

And He I trust has answered prayer

But it has been in such a way

G A G A G A

As almost drove me to despair

I hoped that in some favored hour

At once He'd answer my request

And by His love's constraining power

G A

Subdue my sins and give me rest

Instead of this He made me feel

The hidden evils of my heart

And let the angry powers of Hell

G A G A G A

Assault my soul in every part

Yea more with His own hand He seemed

Intent to aggravate my woe

Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,

G A G A G A G A

( )

Cast out my feelings, laid me low

Lord why is this, I trembling cried

Wilt Thou pursue thy worm to death?

"Tis in this way" The Lord replied

G A

"I answer prayer for grace and faith"

"These inward trials I employ

From self and pride to set thee free

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."
