Kishore Kumar Hits — Hymns of Grace - I Asked the Lord lyrics

Artist: Hymns of Grace

album: Hymnology Season 2

I asked the Lord that I might grow
In faith and love and every grace
Might more of His salvation know
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
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
Subdue my sins and give me rest
Instead of this He made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart
And let the angry pow'rs of hell
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
Humbled my heart and laid me low
♪
"Lord, why is this?" I, trembling, cried
"Will Thou pursue thy worm to death?"
"'Tis in this way," the Lord replied
"I answer prayer for grace and faith"
"These inward trials I employ
From self and pride to set you free
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
That thou may'st find your all in Me"
