The Perfect Prayer lyrics

I may not know just what to say

Or how to put it into words sometimes;

My tongue gets tied.

And all the words of other men

Seem to sound so eloquent

Compared to mine.

When my brokenness is all I have to share

I may stumble and stutter, but to You;

It's the perfect prayer.

I want to speak words from my heart

But I just don't know where to start sometimes.

What are my lines?

I may not please the ear of man

But somehow You still understand,

And it's all right.

If I'm honest, You will meet me anywhere

And anything I whisper in Your name

Is the perfect prayer.

If I stood and paid You tribute

With a long impassioned speech

It still wouldn't mean as much

As when I fall to my knees.

When my silences are all I have to share

My quiet time I spend in thoughts of You

Is the perfect prayer.

Is the perfect prayer.

Our Father,

Who art in Heaven,

Hallowed be Thy name;

Thy Kingdom come,

Thy will be done

On Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day,

Our daily bread;

And forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those

Who trespass against us;

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom,

And the power,

And the glory, forever.

Amen.
