I asked God for strength That I might achieve I was made weak to humbly obey |
|
|
|
I asked for health That I might do greater things I was given infirmity that I might do better things |
|
|
|
I asked for riches That I might be happy I was given poverty that I might be wise |
|
|
|
I asked for power That I might have the praise of men I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God |
|
|
|
I asked for all things That I might enjoy life I was given life that I might enjoy all things |
|
|
|
I got nothing that I asked for But everything I had hoped for |
|
|
|
Almost despite myself, My unspoken prayers were answered. |
|
I am among all man Most richly blessed. |
