Teach Us to Pray (Christian Worship)

[Verse 1] Jesus, teach us how to pray With open hands and hearts awake Not for praise or earthly gain But to trust Your holy name [Pre-Chorus] When our courage fades away Lead us back to words of faith [Chorus] Lord, teach us to pray As children kneel before the Father Give us this day The bread of mercy, grace to follow Through the cross where love was poured Through the grave now opened wide Keep our hearts near to the Lord And our hope alive [Verse 2] Forgive the debts our hearts have made As we release the hurt and blame Guard our feet from paths of pride Keep Your kingdom deep inside [Pre-Chorus] When temptation calls our name Be our refuge, be our strength [Chorus] Lord, teach us to pray As children kneel before the Father Give us this day The bread of mercy, grace to follow Through the cross where love was poured Through the grave now opened wide Keep our hearts near to the Lord And our hope alive [Bridge] Your Son bore sorrow, crown, and thorn The innocent for sinners worn Yet from the darkness mercy came And death could not contain His name [Final Chorus] Lord, teach us to pray With thankful hearts before the Father Guide us each day In truth and love, in grace and wonder By the cross our chains are gone By Your risen life we stand Till our earthly prayer is done And we see You face to face [Outro] Teach us to pray Teach us to trust Teach us to love As You have loved us
