I asked the Lord to comfort me,

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 with me, when darkness was all that I knew; He said to me, " Never be afraid, for I will see you through."

I didn't ask for riches, He gave me wealth untold— The moon, the stars, the sun, the sky, and gave me eyes to behold. I thank the Lord for everything, and 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!
