I Asked the Lord (He's Only a Prayer Away) Lyrics

Artist: Elvis Presley (Buy Elvis Presley CDs)
Album: Home Recordings

(Words & music by Lange - Duncan)
I thank the Lord 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

These words are not correct, though I don't know all of the correct ones. I've known of this song for years and used to listen to a southern gospel group sing it. Please research and get the correct words
