Most Richtly Blessed

(Archie Campbell - Luther Brandon)



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 richtly blessed.



I asked for strenght 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 richtly blessed.



And then I remember through trials and distress

He's always with me I'm most richtly blessed...
