http://www.indeliblegracehymnbook.com/ Intro: D G Bm G A D I asked the Lord that I might grow G In faith and love and every grace Bm Might more of His salvation know G A And seek more earnestly His face D Twas He who taught me thus to pray G And He I trust has answered prayer Bm But it has been in such a way G A G A G A As almost drove me to despair D I hoped that in some favored hour G At once He'd answer my request Bm And by His love's constraining power G A Subdue my sins and give me rest D Instead of this He made me feel G The hidden evils of my heart Bm And let the angry powers of Hell G A G A G A Assault my soul in every part D Yea more with His own hand He seemed G Intent to aggravate my woe Bm Crossed all the fair designs I schemed, G A ( G A G A G A ) Cast out my feelings, laid me low D Lord why is this, I trembling cried G Wilt Thou pursue thy worm to death? Bm "Tis in this way" The Lord replied G A "I answer prayer for grace and faith" D "These inward trials I employ G From self and pride to set thee free Bm And break thy schemes of earthly joy G A That thou mayest seek thy all in me, G A ( G A G A D ) That thou mayest seek thy all in me."
