Lyrics
THE MYSTERY OF ANSWERED PRAYER I asked God for strength, that I might achieve; I was made weak, that I might learn 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 praises 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 asked for all things that. I might enjoy life; I was given life, that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing I asked for but everything I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among men, most richly blessed. It's THE MYSTERY OF ANSWERED PRAYER
