I Asked
I asked God for strength that I might achieve,
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey...
I asked for health, that I might do greater things,

I was given poverty that I might be wiseâ¦
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men,

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-
