J.M.J.

TEACH ME, DEAR LORD

TEACH ME, DEAR LORD, WHEN I AM IN PRAYER

THAT I TOO HEAR YOUR WORDS AS OF MINE YOU’RE AWARE.

TEACH ME, DEAR LORD, WHEN I SHOULD RESPOND

THAT YOUR HEART AND MINE TOGETHER WOULD BOND.

TEACH ME, DEAR LORD, THAT I MAY UNDERSTAND

THAT IT IS NOT I BUT THAT YOU HOLD MY HAND.

TEACH ME, DEAR LORD, TO ACCEPT ALL YOU’RE GIVING

AND TO NEVER FORGET TO GIVE PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING.

IF I, MY DEAR LORD, SHOULD EVER FORGET,

REMIND THIS POOR SINNER THAT I NOT NEGLECT

TO GIVE PRAISE AND GLORY FOR ALL YOUR CREATION

WITHOUT EVER SEEKING FROM YOU COMPENSATION.
