When we pray, study in the fire
when we pray, take away the worlds desire
when we pray, holy spirit take us higher
when we pray, when we pray,

when we pray, let it not be for a season 
when we pray, give us wisdom and not reason
when we pray, let your name be our petition
when we pray, when we pray, when we pray,

when you pray, lean not on your understanding
when you pray, just take hold of his commandments
when you pray, know that he hears you crying
when you pray, when you pray,

when you pray, let it not be for a season
when you pray, ask for wisdom and not reason
when you pray, let his name be your petition 
when you pray, when you pray,

lead us in your righteous ways
turn our hearts to seek your face
wash away all iniquity

search the inner part within
wipe away every sin
at thy throne of grace i bow my knees
