Please teach me, Lord. . . I want to know Exactly how to pray. I need some words Which ones are right? Please tell me what to say. I've bowed my head I've knelt down, But . . . should I be upright? I've closed my eyes, I've raised my hands, Or . . . should I fold them tight? Do I stand up? Should I sit down? Dear Lord . . . what do you like? Are lights turned on Or are they off? Maybe . . . candle light? Wear my glasses? Take them off? Be at my desk or table? Should I whisper? Speak out loud? Do I quote the Bible? What do you think about the time? Do You prefer the dawn? Should I pray fast, Or keep it slow? Better short . . . or long? I'm new at this What are the rules? I want to do it right. How do I know You'll even hear That I am in Your sight? And while I sat there quietly, Waiting for some sign, I heard a gentle voice say . . . "Oh, dearest child of mine . . . Do you think I really care About the time of day, Or whether you are standing up, Or kneeling when you pray?" "I don't care about your posture, Or about the place you choose; Just open up your soul to Me, I have no other rules." "Tell Me what is in your heart, And tell Me what you seek; Tell Me of your sorrows, And of the things that made you weak." "Speak to Me in private About what concerns you most; I know about your good deeds . . . You have no need to boast." "My child, you don't need lessons, Just talk to Me each day; Tell Me anything you want, Dear child, anyone can pray."
