Teach Me to Pray ft. Marie-Eve Lyrics

Help me be quiet when a riot sets loose

Help me be calm when a storm breaks through

Help me be still when I feel it's no use

And teach me to pray

Teach me to pray

Teach me to pray

Through all the hustle and the bustle of this hectic life

Help me make the time to reflect on you

Be still and know that you are God

You are God

I know that nothing is more critical than prayer, no

Yet very few things are neglected more

Don't let me lay down my defenses when it's dire Lord

Because I know the Christian life is war

You exhort me to pray and never quit

But every time I find a pattern soon I fall out of it

All the distractions and abstractions don't permit

But it is unto your will I must submit

Help me be quiet when a riot sets loose

Help me be calm when a storm breaks through

Help me be still when I feel it's no use

And teach me to pray

Teach me to pray

Teach me to pray

Jesus, distend me I'm begging you to stretch me and extend me

To bend me Conform me to your will and then defend me

Up-end me so there is less of me in the way

And teach me to pray

All the perils of life, dem ah nuh nothing

When we can pray to a God so immense

So cover me with your wing

A new song I'm going to sing

And set for me a brand new precedence

You are delighted to hear the voice of this guilty rebel

I'm excited to be connected to you on this level

You've ignited the spark inside me, it's been lighted

And it causes me to say

Help me be quiet when a riot sets loose

Help me be calm when a storm breaks through

Help me be still when I feel it's no use

And teach me to pray

Teach me to pray

Teach me to pray

Alright then, so watch me

Whether calm, whether storm

Whether dark, whether light

Every bark, every bite

Every bump in the night - fright

Me deh alright, me deh sit tight, oh yeah alright

Whether night, whether day

Whether bright, whether gray

Me nah flight me nah stray

Me ah fight and pray

Mek me light shine bright every day

Whether up, whether down

Whether smile, whether frown

Every stick, every stone

Every groan with the broke bone

Me nah shut down, never slow down Me nah step down

Whether night, whether day

Whether bright, whether gray

Me nah flight me nah stray

Me ah fight and pray

Make me light shine bright and so me say

Help me be quiet when a riot sets loose

Help me be calm when a storm breaks through

Help me be still when I feel it's no use

And teach me to pray

Teach me to pray

Teach me to pray

Help me be quiet when a riot sets loose

Help me be calm when a storm breaks through

Help me be still when I feel it's no use

And teach me to pray

Teach me to pray

Teach me to pray
