Will you take this prayer?
And make it pleasing lord
To your holy ear?

(chorus)
I long to know you better
And study all your ways
I yearn to be together
Forever and always

v.2
Can I honor you Lord?
With this old guitar (alt. Will these things I do)
I’ve carried so far? (alt. Bring glory to You?)

As I lift up my voice
Will you hear me Lord
And help me rejoice?

(chorus)
I long to sing your praises
And stand within your court
Your mercy, glory, grace amazes
Yet all these words fall short

(bridge)
So i sing
Allelujah
Allelu
Allelujah
Lord, I love you
