Go Back

I Asked The Lord (He's Only A Prayer Away)

Words & Music by Johnny Lange, Jimmy Duncan

Lyrics:

For everything
When things are going my way
He said to me I will comfort thee
And drive your cares away

He promised me I will walk thee
And drive your cares away

I did not ask for riches
He gave me wealth untold
The moon, the stars, the sun the sky
(Are there for you) to behold

I thank the lord for everything
And I count my blessings each day
He came to me when I needed Him
I only have to pray
And He'll come to you if you ask Him to
He's only a prayer away
