why do we pray Lord why do we pray
do we need a little help to find our way
out of wilderness to a better place
are we begging the Father to show us the Way
why do we pray why do we pray
are we lighting a candle
are we closing our eyes
are we down on our knees
asking God to bring peace of mind
are we begging and pleading
for some healing to be done
Do we need a miracle to happen
and some mercy to come
are we even aware that God is right here
and we can always come to terms with ourself
if we take time to be aware
that we can talk to God and share our cares
yes miracles do occur
and prayers can be heard
but sometimes when they don't
we have to see the bigger picture here
can we embrace life come what may
with it's moments of joy
the good and the bad things
and whatever happens each day
Can we learn to pray always
and to talk to God as our friend
to love the Father and Mother
and commune with them within
can we walk in the steps of the Teacher
and become His instrument of love
to learn here on earth
til we graduate to heaven above
thank you God for each and every day
and lead us to live with love and pray
for us be kind in what we say
and shine your light forth to show us the way
