Teach Me To Pray

I raise my hands in adoration
to You my dearest Love.
I worship You in all Your Beauty,
Your Holiness, I stand in awe!

I bow before You humbly -
my dearest One - You are to me.

I seek to understand Your Simplest Truths
Your living sacrifice I wish to be.

Teach me to pray,
my Holy One,
my times are in Your Hands.
Let me discern what is True - and what is not
piercing through false pretense.

I seek Your face, Your Holiness,
transform me now I cry,
Teach me love - as You are Love,
transforming ignorance - through Your Light.

Wipe my tears with Your tender kiss,
bring clarity, I pray.
Give me courage to trust You now,
surrendering my heart today.

Oh, how I long to see Your Face,
I long to know You more.
Teach me to love You
my teacher Divine,
and teach me how to pray!
