D/F# G             C   A/C#
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


(Chorus)
    Am            G/B         D/F#       G
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


D/F# G              C      A/C# 
Daddy, I can hear Jesus crying
D/F#  G            C           A/C#
Help me, are the words He’s implying
  D/F#     G           C        A/C#
Am I sleeping while my Savior is dying
       Em      D/F#     G
Lord, teach me how to pray

(Chorus)

              D/F#              C        A/C# 
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

(Chorus)
