Quatro anos de trabalho duro!

Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

[Verse 1]
G G/C G
I asked the Lord that I might grow
Em C D
In faith and love and ev’ry grace,
G Em C
Might more of His salvation know,
Dsus D G
And seek more earnestly His face.

[Verse 2]
G G/C G
‘Twas He who taught me thus to pray,
Em C D
And He, I trust, has answered prayer,
G Em C
But it has been in such a way
Dsus D G
As almost drove me to despair.

[Verse 3]
G G/C G
I hoped that in some favored hour
Em C D
At once He’d answer my request
G Em C
And, by His love’s constraining pow’r,
Dsus D G
Subdue my sins and give me rest.

[Verse 4]
G G/C G
Instead of this, He made me feel
Em C D
The hidden evils of my heart
G Em C
And let the angry pow’rs of hell
Dsus D G
Assault my soul in ev’ry part.

[Verse 5]
G G/C G
Yea, more with His own hand He seemed
Em C D
Intent to aggravate my woe,
G Em C
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
Dsus D G
Humbled my heart and laid me low.

[Verse 6]
G G/C G
“Lord, why is this,” I trembling cried;
Em C D
“Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death?”
G Em C
“’Tis in this way,” the Lord replied,
Dsus D G
“I answer prayer for grace and faith.”

[Verse 7]
G G/C G
“These inward trials I employ
Em C D
From self and pride to set thee free
G Em C
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
Dsus D G
That thou may’st find thy all in Me.”
