When we sense Your holiness,
When our hearts we can’t express,
When we seek Your mind to find Your way,
Teach us to pray.
By Your goodness we are fed.
From Your table comes our bread.
When words of thanks we forget to say,
Teach us to pray.
When forgiveness we can’t find,
Revenge and power fill the mind,
We condemn and we forget Your grace,
Teach us, teach us to pray
Though we seek Your perfect will,
We fight temptation still.
When from goodness we begin to stray,
Teach us to pray, teach us to pray.
For Yours is the pow’r and majesty.
Your kingdom reigns eternally.
Until the coming of the endless day,
When all Your children meet You face to face,
Oh teach us, teach us, teach us to pray.
(Congregation prays "The Lord’s Prayer")
Amen, amen.
