Mommy, I hear the baby crying 
D/F#  G           C          A/C# 
Help me, are the words she's implying 
D/F#        G             C             A/C# 
Where've I been while my world has been dying 
   Em          D/F#     G 
Lord, teach me how to pray

Not my will or my plans or the way I want it 
       Am          G/B         Dsus 
I'm so tired of my hands in the way 
      Am           G/B            D/F#         G      C 
So reveal to these eyes the true heart of my Father, today 
      Em      D/F#     G 
Lord teach me how to pray

Help me, are the words He's implying 
  D/F#     G           C        A/C# 
Am I sleeping while my Savior is dying

Lord, teach me how to pray

So I'll keep asking, for Your kingdom to come 
D/F#  G            C        A/C# 
Looking, for Your will to be done 
  D/F#       G                C    A/C# 
For every nation, tribe, and every tongue 
       Em      D/F#     G 
Lord, teach me how to pray
