I Asked The Lord [Emily Deloach]

And He I trust has answered prayer
But it has been in such a way

'Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death?'
''Tis in this way,' the Lord replied,
'I answer prayer for grace and faith'

'These inward trials I employ
from self and pride to set thee free
and break thy schemes of earthly joy
that thou mayest seek thy all in Me.'
