I often say my prayers,
But do I ever pray?
And do the wishes of my heart
Go with the words I say?
But do I ever pray?
And do the wishes of my heart
Go with the words I say?
I may as well kneel down
And worship gods of stone
As offer to the living God
A prayer of words alone.
And worship gods of stone
As offer to the living God
A prayer of words alone.
For words without the heart
The Lord will never hear,
Nor will He to those lips attend
Whose prayers are not sincere.
The Lord will never hear,
Nor will He to those lips attend
Whose prayers are not sincere.
Lord, show me what I need,
And teach me how to pray,
Nor let me ask Thee for Thy grace,
Not feeling what I say.
And teach me how to pray,
Nor let me ask Thee for Thy grace,
Not feeling what I say.
