I Asked the Lord

Scarlet Thread

I asked the Lord that I might grow
Might more of His salvation know,
In faith, and love, and every grace;

And seek, more earnestly, His face.
'Twas He who taught me thus to pray,
But he answered in such a way,
That dropped me to my knees in prayer
And almost drove me to despair.
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
I asked the Lord
To make me holy
I asked the Lord
Mute the noise inside my soul
Oh Father, please
Do with me as you see so

Mute the noise inside my soul
Oh Father, please
Do with me as you see so
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
I hoped that in some favored hour,
And by His love's constraining power,
At once He'd answer my request;
Subdue my sins, and give me rest.
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
Instead of this, He made me feel
All the angry powers of hell
The hidden evils of my heart;
Assault my soul in every part.
I asked the Lord
To make me holy
I asked the Lord
Mute the noise inside my soul
Oh Father, please
Do with me as you see so
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
Lord, why is this, I trembling cried,
Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death?
"'Tis in this way, the Lord replied,
I answer prayer for grace and faith
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 may seek thy all in Me.
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
I asked the Lord
To make me holy
I asked the Lord
Mute the noise inside my soul
Oh Father, please
Do with me as you see so
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
I asked the Lord
To make me holy
I asked the Lord
Mute the noise inside my soul
Oh Father, please
Do with me as you see so
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
I asked the Lord
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
I asked the Lord
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
I asked the Lord
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
I asked the Lord
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
Ooooh Oh Ooooh Oh
