Dear Lord I need a favor
Can you help me out tonight?
I'm trying hard to learn
Please help me get this right.

I want to be a Christian
And feel you in my heart
I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start.



You see, I've never learned to pray
Nor got down upon my knees
So if you could help me out
I'll try so hard to please.

I want to feel you touch me
Like others say you do
And know you're right beside me
With all that I pursue.



I need you to watch over me
And walk beside me all the way
So dear Lord could you help 
As I try to learn to pray?

I want to go to heaven
When my time on earth is through
I don't want to miss the chance
To be up there with you.



You know I think it must be you
Who helped me many times
Was it you that gave a little push
On those hills I had to climb?

When I stumbled did you catch me
On those rough and rocky roads
The times that I almost fell
Overburdened from my loads? 



There's much I need to thank you for
I have so much to say
All the things I should have said
But I don't know how to pray.

If you could teach me to pray
I could say my thanks to you
And tell you I appreciate
All the wondrous things you do.
