Once I Prayed - Phil Keaggy

Once I prayed, I knew not what I said

Show me myself, oh Lord, alas I did not dread

The hideous sight which now, I shudder to behold

Because I knew not self-aright.

And I was led in answer to my prayer

As step by step to see my wretched heart lay bare

Then I prayed: stay, Lord, I cannot bear the sight

And pityingly His hand was stayed, His hand was stayed.

Now I pray, I know that prayer is right

Show me Thyself, oh Lord, be to myself the Bright

And Morning Star to shine upon the grave of self

And lead my heart from earth afar, from earth afar.
