What I Got Was You

I prayed for riches, and for success.
I prayed for perfect health and luck and nothing less.
And I prayed strength to guide me through.
I prayed for lots of things but what I got was you.

I prayed for time to get things done.
I asked forgiveness for having too much fun.
And I prayed for money. What could I do?
I prayed for lots of things but what I got was you.

They say the Lord works in mysterious ways.
I must agree - just look at me.
When it seems you're in the darkest of days
Drop Him a line and things will work out fine.

I prayed for riches and I got a friend
Who pays me dearly with love until the end.
And I prayed for miracles.They all came true.
I prayed for lots of things and what I got was you.
I prayed for lots of things and the good Lord gave me you.
