Which Way Do You Pray

Where inside your prayer life Do you find that you are at Do you make it clear as you bend Gods ear What you say is what you meant Do you toss requests to Heaven In hopes that they will stick And before too long you move along Forgetting most of them Or do you wake up each new morning And thank him for this day Saying keep an eye on me in word and deed In all decisions that I make Do you thank God for your meals After you've commenced to stuffing face With a good food, good meat, good God let's eat And consider that saying grace Or do you pray dear Father save me Mostly from myself And may your kingdom come your will be done This day above all else Do you tell those you know with little hope That prayers are on the way Then in the next blink forget the whole thing And go merrily on your way Or do you give God thanks with all your might In every circunstance From the moment that you wake up Till the time you lay down your head Do you kneel at night at your bedside And think about your aching knees With a quick amen you jump right in And in seconds you're sound asleep Or do you always pray for others That salvation will abound That they'll see the light in Jesus Christ The only true light that counts So when you pray do you know which way That you bend your knees Are your prayer days filled with praise Or are they given out selfishly
