I Asked The Lord Video (MV)

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

T'was 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 hope that in some favoured 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 powers of hell
Assault my soul in every part

Lord, why is this my 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 thee free
And break Thy schemes of earthly joy
That Thou may find Thy all in me

That Thou may find Thy all in me

That Thou may find Thy all in me
