Learn How To Pray

I want to learn how to pray
So I can see what matters
I want to learn how to pray
Give thanks for everything
I want to learn how to pray
One day I will be shattered
I want to learn how to pray
When my heart's too hurt to sing

I want to learn how to pray,
To sit alone in silence
I want to learn how to pray,
To settle down my mind
I want to learn how to pray
In a world with so much violence
I want to learn how to pray
Peace is something I can find

Oh my Lord,
Have mercy on a sinner
Oh my God,
Open up my heart,
Teach me how to love

I want to learn how to pray
To remember your Creation
I want to learn how to pray
To see the beauty in the earth
I want to learn how to pray
For every generation
I want to learn how to pray
Through my death into rebirth

Oh my Lord,
Have mercy on a sinner
Oh my God,
Open up my heart,
Teach me how to pray

Oh my Lord,
Have mercy on a sinner
Oh my God,
Open up my heart,
Teach me to forgive

I want to learn how to pray
For daily bread and water
I want to learn how to pray
To set down my facade
I want to learn how to pray
For my wife and son and daughter
I want to learn how to pray
So I can be with God.
