TEACH US TO PRAY
What is the point of prayer if God already knows what we need? This is a question I’ve struggled with for many years. I still don’t have all the answers. But what I do know is this – God wants us to pray. So, if you’re anything like me, and you’ve wondered why we ought to pray, this song is for you. Let’s turn to God himself and he will teach us how to pray according to his design. This modern hymn is perfect for all types of church services, from traditional to contemporary. The simple melodic structure makes it versatile enough that it can be accompanied by just piano, or just guitar, or even a full worship band. And everyone in the congregation will be able to join in and sing along, regardless of their musical training :)

LYRICS
Teach us to pray,
Our heavenly Father!
Your church empower
As we kneel down.
Help us to wait
With each passing hour;
May we uncover
Peace so profound!
Teach us to pray, declaring your glory!
Teach us to pray for wisdom divine!
Trusting your way in writing our story,
Your kingdom come
And your will be done!
Down on our knees we will stay,
Teach us to pray!
Teach us to pray
In moments so dire,
Troubled by trials,
Crushed by despair.
Help us obey
By Spirit and fire.
May your desire
Kindle our prayer!
Teach us to pray, declaring your glory!
Teach us to pray for wisdom divine!
Trusting your way in writing our story:
Your kingdom come
And your will be done!
Down on our knees we will stay,
Teach us to pray!
Teach us to pray
For holy redemption:
Your resurrection –
Our living hope!
And on that day
Of great celebration
Your whole creation
Will be restored!
Then we will pray declaring your glory
All of our days in sweet harmony,
Pardoned and saved, forever adoring:
Your kingdom come
And your will be done!
As we await for that day,
Teach us to pray!
