(When Johnny Comes Marching Home)
1. How
(Em)of- ten have we heard it said that (G)we're to pray? It's
(Em)some- thing that we should be doing (G)ev- 'ry (B7)day. But
(Em)what if we are (B7)not too sure the (Em)way that it is (B7)done? We are
)
(Em) stopped (D)be-(C)fore (B7)we (Em)ev- en (D)have (Em)begun.
2. There
are some Bible verses that can teach us how and
if we do not know them we should learn them now. Not
on- ly do they help us our by teach- ing us the way, they
ev- en show the words that we can say.
3. That
prayer, a real familiar one, is from our Lord. He
taught it to His followers when they implored. (A)
prayer that touches all of life with just the perfect mix. Verses
nine thru thirteen, Mat- thew, chapter six.
4. We
use it as a model showing what to ask and
when we do our praying it can guide task, or
else we use it word for word right off the printed page, To
geth- er with the saints of every age.
5. Of
course we must remember when we say this prayer the
mean- ing goes much deeper than the word- ing there and
con- centrate on what we say in each and every part, so we
say it from the bot- tom of our heart.
6. And
so we pray with confidence that we'll be heard al-
though we might not pray with fancy flow- ing word. When
we approach the throne of grace we have no need to fear, 'cause
Je- sus taught us we know that God will hear.
