Song Info
Intro:
D G/D D A7
1. At first I prayed for light:
2. And next I prayed for strength:
3. And then I asked for faith:
4. But now I pray for love:
5. And light and strength and faith
F#m/A A7 Bm
Could I but see the way,
That I might tread the road
Could I but trust my God,
Deep love to God and man;
Are opening ev- - ery-where!
D7/C G/B D/A GMaj7 Em/G
How gladly, swiftly would I walk
With firm, unfal–tering feet, and win
I’d live infold-ed in His peace,
A living love that will not fail,
God waited pa - tient–ly until
A F#m/A A7 D
To ever - - - last–ing day!
The heaven’s serene a - bode.
Though foes were all a - broad.
How- - ever dark His plan.
I prayed the larg–er prayer.
