<Lord, Teach Us To Pray>

Lord We know not what to say

As we know not how to pray

Lord, I ask you hold our hand

As we try to understand

The things to say and do

When we talk with you.

Lord, I know that can hear

And that you see our every tear

Lord no matter how we try

The words are replaced by a sigh

Because we cannot seem to find

The right words in our mind

Lord, you know we struggle

Each day do we find trouble

Yet you love us through it all

You will never let us fall.

Father you see beyond our shell

You know us, Lord, oh so well

You now we all sin

But we long to be your children

We need the words so with you we can talk

That we may get closer to you daily in our walk

But this right now we cannot do

As our words are hesitate and few

Father I need you to help us confess

So our feelings we can express

But, as always, you seem so far away

Lord, I beg you to teach us to pray

You are the one true friend

And your love will never end

We just want to give you, God

Our whole selves, however odd

We want to learn to talk to you, Lord

When we are happy, sad or bored

So please, Daddy, show us the way

By teaching us constantly how to pray

Papa I humbly come to you

We will do whatever you want us to do

Just stand by us and show us the way

So that we can learn how to pray
