I bow my head to pray, I don't know what to say I'm not sure how to fix the things I'm dealing with I'm in a desperate place, I need to share the weight But I just don't know how, to let it all pour out Though I'm silent, my heart is crying 'Cause I was made to come to You So I pray God I need You more than words can say Right here in this moment You know my heart, You know my need You know every part of me So even if it's just to speak Your name I'm gonna pray I failed to find the time, but You've been calling out I let the days go by as if I could live without But it's gotta be here now, I won't be pulled away 'Cause it's just You and I, so let the world around us fade As I pray God I need You more than words can say Right here in this moment You know my heart, You know my need You know every part of me So even if it's just to speak Your name I'm gonna pray I'm gonna pray (Father) Will You meet me here right now? (Father) I surrender, lay it down (Father) And every time I close my eyes I know that I was made To lift my hands and pray I lift my hands and pray You know my heart, You know my need And every single part of me So even if it's just to speak Your name I'm gonna pray I'm gonna pray You know my heart, You know my need You know every part of me I bring willing words and one heart (?)
