Help With Old Tennessee Ernie Ford Song

My Mom Said The Song Was From An Old Tennessee Ernie Ford Record
Recorded Live At Indiana State Fair. Looking For The Title And Song.
The Words As Follows:
I Asked God For Strength That I Might Achieve
I Was Made Weak That I Might Humbly Obey
I Asked For Help That I Might Do Greaterthings
I Was Given Infirmity That I Might Do Better Things
I Asked For Riches That I Might Be Happy
I Was Given Poverty That I Might Be Wise
I Asked For All Things That I Might Enjoy Life
I Was Given Life That I Might Enjoy All Things
I Was Given Nothing That I Asked For
But Everything I Had Hoped For
So Despite Myself My Prayers Were Answered
Im Among All Men Most Richly Blessed

hi there,

I found a poem, "Most Richly Blessed" (by an unknow Civil War Veteran)

found songs with that title, by Bill Anderson, and by Jimmy Dean
