I have a need and it's crushing me to the ground
I am without, I've come apart
There's a gap in the wall between You and me
I have a need
I turn to You-where does my help come from?
I've been told and I've learned that You never fail
Lord, teach me to pray and to know
The heart You have towards me
Lord, teach me to pray
And I lift my voice boldly in praise
Lord, teach me to laugh and to cry with honesty
And sing as You sing over me
And sing, "Lord, teach me to pray"
I need Your will
It's the only way to win this one
Bring Your kingdom, bring Your power
By Your grace I won't succumb
Lord, teach me to pray and to know
The heart You have towards me
Lord, teach me to pray
And I lift my voice boldly in praise
Lord, teach me to laugh and to cry with honesty
And sing as You sing over me
And sing, "Lord, teach me to pray"
There's so much I've hungered for
And not been satisfied
But I'm learning to understand
Thank you for all I have
Lord, teach me to pray and to know
The heart You have towards me
Lord, teach me to pray
And I lift my voice boldly in praise
Lord, teach me to laugh and to cry with honesty
And sing as You sing over me
And sing, "Lord, teach me to pray"
And sing, "Lord, teach me to pray"
