One month ago my dear grandmother passed away from a sudden, unexpected illness.  While losing her has been incredibly hard for our family, we have been immeasurably blessed by the legacy she has left behind.  Over the past several weeks, friends and family members have shared with us stories we’d never heard about my grandmother, stories about how selfless and loving she was.  And my grandmother would be the first to say the source of that selfless love was Jesus.

That being said, I thought the best way I could honor her would be to arrange a version of her favorite hymn, Teach Me To Pray. Here it is.  We miss you, Memommy.

Teach Me To Pray

Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;
This is my heart-cry day unto day;
I long to know your will and your way;
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray.

Power in prayer, Lord, power in prayer!
Here ‘mid earth’s sin and sorrow and care,
Men lost and dying, souls in despair;
O give me power, power in prayer!

Refrain
Living in you, and you in me
Constant abiding, this is my plea;
Grant me your power, boundless and free,
Power with men and power with Thee.

My weakened will, Lord, you can renew;
My sinful nature you can subdue;
Fill me just now with power anew;
Power to pray and power to do!

Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;
You are my pattern day unto day;
You are my surety, now and always
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray.
