Unless I feel my need.
Unless "tis from a sense of want.
That all my prayers proceed.

I may as well kneel down.
And worship gods of stone.
As offer to the living God.
A prayer of words alone.For words without the heart
The Lord will never hear
Nor will He ever (hear) that child regard
Whose prayers are insincere.Lord, teach me what I want.
And teach me how to pray.
Nor let me ever implore thy grace
Not feeling what I say.
