When I Asked God

When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face


When I Asked God for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve


When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People


When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard


When I Asked God for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard


When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others


God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed
