When I bow my head to pray
The loss for words fades away
My spirit knows the things to say
And all I need this day

Praise the Lord, and bless His Name
As I am forgiven, forgive the same
Provide this day daily bread
Let truth be written upon my head

They’re just words
But when said from the heart
They are prayers to the Lord
Rising to the stars, and beyond

When I praise God in song
The fear of this world fades
My voice cries unto the Lord
My thoughts do no wrong

I feel the angels join me
And can hear them sing along
Giving water to the new seed
And meat to the strong

They are just words
But when said from the heart
They are prayers to the Lord
Rising to the stars
Hear the words
Listen with your heart
Praise to God on High and beyond
