Teach me how to love you, Father,
As any good obedient daughter.

Teach me to please You in prayer,
Focusing on Your will while there.

Teach me on Your Word to dine;
Finding inner beauty that will shine.

Teach me to discern Your Will,
Following with determined skill.

Teach me how to love the others,
Believing or non-believing brothers.

Teach me how to capture Your ways;
Living them out through all my days.

Teach me how to love you, Father,
As any good obedient daughter.

Psalm 3:3
But thou, O LORD,
art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up
of mine head.
