Teach Me

Teach me how to pray, Lord,
Don't know where to start,
Tell me what to say, Lord,
Teach me how to play my part.
Do I have to kneel, Lord?
Can I just bow my head?
Will you know how I feel, Lord,
If I shout it out instead?
Teach me how to pray , Lord,
Tell me what to say,
Teach me how to pray, Lord,
Want to start today.

Teach me how to pray, Lord,
Where do I begin?
Teach me how to live, Lord,
Keep my spirit free from sin.
Help me make the right choice,
Guarding me on my way,
Keeping me in your sight, Lord,
Stay beside me every day.
Teach me how to pray, Lord,
Tell me what to say,
Where do I begin, Lord,
Want to start today.
