He is Lord and, as such, We should treat him the same Once we have done this we can begin To open our hearts that we might listen Thy Kingdom come Thy Will be done Come to him in humble surrender Ask him your questions, ask him to reveal What He desires for us to feel Open our eyes to recognize Your love as your word comes alive In our hearts and in our souls After this we come to a place Of forgiveness, repentance and grace Forgive us our sins as we ourselves Forgive those who are in debt to us Lord, we pray, bless our foes Make them Holy and happy Forgive me Lord, I bought the lie That you did not know as well as I What was best for me and for my good I see now that I was wrong And I should've listened all along I beg your grace to follow still And the strength to do your will Finally, ask God to bless your life Pray for others who are in strife Believe that God will hear and answer If he overcame death, he can overcome cancer Give us, this day, our daily bread Lord of life, please keep us fed Ask, seek, knock, and pray To the Life, the Truth and the Way Pray first: ask what God wants you to pray for Pray often: pray daily and be faithful to it Pray and fast: it focuses our mind and our heart Pray always: pray without ceasing Be patient and persistent; do not lose heart Like a friend or doctor, make an appointment Make a time and keep it Holy and Blest Do your part and God will provide the rest
