Once I Prayed

Song Once I Prayed
Artist Phil Keaggy
Album Way Back Home

Lyrics

作曲 : Keaggy, McDowell
Once I prayed,
I knew not what
I said. Show me myself, oh
Lord, Alas
I did not dread
The hideous sight which now
I shudder to behold,
Because I knew not self-aright.
And I was led in answer to my prayer,
As step by step to see
My wretched heart lay bare.
Then I prayed,
Stay, Lord,
I cannot bear the sight.
And pityingly
His hand was stayed,
His hand was stayed.
Now I pray,
I know that prayer is right,
Show me Thyself, oh
Lord, Be to myself the
Bright and
Morning Star
To shine upon the grave of self
And lead my heart from earth afar,
From earth afar.
