I ASKED THE LORD THAT I MIGHT GROW
KEY : G
VERSE 1:
G C/G G
I asked the Lord that I might grow
Em C D
In faith and love and ev’ry grace,
G Em7 C
Might more of His salvation know
Dsus D G
And seek more ear - nestly His face.
VERSE 2:
G C/G G
’Twas He who taught me thus to pray,
Em C D
And He, I trust has answered prayer,
G Em7 C
But it has been in such a way
Dsus D G
As almost drove me to despair.
VERSE 3:
G C/G G
I hoped that in some favored hour
Em C D
At once He’d an - swer my request
G Em7 C
And by His love’s constraining pow’r
Dsus D G
Subdue my sins and give me rest.
VERSE 4:
G C/G G
Instead of this He made me feel
Em C D
The hidden e - vils of my heart
G Em7 C
And let the angry pow’rs of hell
Dsus D G
Assault my soul in ev’ry part.
VERSE 5:
G C/G G
Yea more with His own hand He seemed
Em C D
Intent to aggravate my woe,
G Em7 C
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
Dsus D G
Humbled my heart, and laid me low.
VERSE 6:
G C/G G
“Lord, why is this,” I, trembling, cried;
Em C D
“Will Thou pursue thy worm to death?”
G Em7 C
“Tis in this way,” the Lord replied,
Dsus D G
“I answer prayer for grace and faith.”
VERSE 7:
G C/G G
“These inward trials I employ
Em C D
From self and pride to set you free,
G Em7 C
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
Dsus D G
That thou may’st find your all in Me.”
