Lyrics of Most richtly blessed

Most richtly blessed
(archie campbell - luther brandon)
'67 tree publishing

Sometimes i wonder when things go so wrong
Has god forsaken me and left me alone
And then i remember through trials of distress
He's always with me i'm most richly blessed
I asked for strength that i might achieve
I was given weakness that i might learn humbly to obey
I asked for health that i might do great things
I was given informality 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 praise of men
I was made weak 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 got nothing that i asked for but everything that i hoped for
And almost despite myself i among men am most richly blessed
And then i remember through trials and distress
He's always with me i'm most richly blessed
