Phil Keaggy - Once I Prayed lyrics

Keaggy-McDowell 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.
