Lyrics
**Title: The Root of Prayer**
Verse 1:
The root of prayer is joy in the Lord,
As David played his lute, his heart was adored,
When you pray, direct your heart to Him,
In joyous love, let your prayers begin.
Chorus:
Glory in His holy name,
Rejoice, all who seek the same,
With a heart full of joy and love,
Lift your prayers to the heavens above.
Verse 2:
Five things prevent prayer even when it's time,
Ritual purity, covering shame, a place that’s fine,
Matters that distract, and intent of heart,
Prepare yourself fully, before you start.
Chorus:
Glory in His holy name,
Rejoice, all who seek the same,
With a heart full of joy and love,
Lift your prayers to the heavens above.
Bridge:
Wash your hands, cover your chest,
Find a clean place, let your heart rest,
Free your mind from thoughts impure,
Pray with devotion, make your heart sure.
Verse 3:
In the midst of prayer, if you find a distraction,
Pause and remove it with careful action,
Cleanse your thoughts, your body align,
Stand in reverence, heart towards the divine.
Chorus:
Glory in His holy name,
Rejoice, all who seek the same,
With a heart full of joy and love,
Lift your prayers to the heavens above.
Verse 4:
Facing the Holy Temple, eyes cast down,
Heart turned upward, where glory's found,
Adjust your attire, stand in fear and trembling,
Before the Lord, where hearts are assembling.
Chorus:
Glory in His holy name,
Rejoice, all who seek the same,
With a heart full of joy and love,
Lift your prayers to the heavens above.
Outro:
In all your prayers, be humble and true,
Stand before the King of kings, let His light guide you,
With devotion and reverence, lift your voice,
In the beauty of holiness, let your heart rejoice.
