I Asked The Lord to comfort me When things weren't going my way,
He said to me, "I will comfort you, And lift your cares away."
I Asked The Lord to walk me, When darkness was all that I dark knew,
He said to me, "Never afraid, for I will see you through."
 
I didn't ask for riches, He gave me wealth un told,
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.
