I Asked

I asked the Lord to keep me, He said child I am near I will never leave you, you have nothing to fear. I asked the Lord for wisdom for surely I had none He said, since you seek me, consider it as done. I asked the Lord to love me, He said child don't you know, It was I who loved you most, as I watched you grow I ask the Lord for a companion for when I grow old He said flesh will grow weary and lips will turn cold I asked the Lord to save me, He said your burdens I do bare, my kingdom is forever, for those who hold me up in prayer I asked the Lord to quiet the storm that raged inside He stood by the waters and spread his arms out wide I asked the Lord for forgiveness upon my bent knee He said from the wages of sin, it is I who set you free I thanked the Lord for the healing that seeped from every pore He said that's just a sample of what I have in store The praise I reined upon Him for making me complete He said the devil has no power, with me, he can't compete
