TEACH ME HOW TO PRAY

Teach me how to pray 
O Lord
You know what's best for me
Let not my words be empty 
But of faith and honesty 

You see my thoughts afar off 
You know the workings of my mind 
The path I take is before you 
You have numbered my days 
And time

What offering can I give to you 
Since you own the world 
How can lips of clay praise you
The One who calls forth the day

Who knows your dwelling place 
Or ever seen your face
Angels covers their eyes before you 
For your glory will melt them away 

Teach me how to pray O Lord 
Shine your light within my heart 
Show me my hidden sins I pray
That I may repent 
And have a brand new start.
