419 How to Enter Into True Prayer
Verse 1
During prayer your heart must be at peace
before God, your heart must be sincere.
Truly commune when you pray to God.
Don’t cheat God with words pleasing to the ear.
Chorus
So your heart will be quiet before God.
And in the environments arranged for you,
you will then know yourself and hate yourself,
you will hate yourself and forsake yourself.
So you’ll have normal relations with God,
and become someone who truly
loves, loves God, loves, loves God,
become someone who truly loves, loves God.
Verse 2
Prayer must surround what God will do today.
Ask for greater illumination,
bring your state and troubles before God
and speak to Him your resolution.
Chorus
So your heart will be quiet before God.
And in the environments arranged for you,
you will then know yourself and hate yourself,
you will hate yourself and forsake yourself.
So you’ll have normal relations with God,
and become someone who truly
loves, loves God, loves, loves God,
become someone who truly loves, loves God.
Bridge
Prayer is not to follow procedure
but to seek God with your sincerity.
Pray for God to protect your heart.
Ask for God to protect your heart.
Chorus
So your heart will be quiet before God.
And in the environments arranged for you,
you will then know yourself and hate yourself,
you will hate yourself and forsake yourself.
So you’ll have normal relations with God,
and become someone who truly
loves, loves God, loves, loves God,
become someone who truly loves, loves God.
