I Asked The Lord
(He's Only a Prayer Away)
Words and music by Lange - Duncan

Matthew 7:7
"Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"

            I thank the Lord for everything,
            When things are going my way.
            He said to me, "I will comfort thee
            And drive your cares away."

            He promised me He would be with me,
            And drive my troubles away.
            He promised me He would come to me,
            I only have to pray.

            I did not ask for riches,
            He gave me wealth untold;
            The moon, the stars, the sun, the sky
            Are there for me to behold.

            I thank the Lord for everything,
            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 prayer away!
