Learning how to pray
(Mark I. Anderson)

Dear lord, it’s been a little while
I feel as helpless as a little child  
But I need to talk with you
And I’m guessing that you know
I made a few mistakes / and I can’t let ‘em go

So, I turn to you
Hoping I might find
The strength to surrender one more time

[Chorus]
I’m asking for forgiveness
I’m asking for your grace
I’m asking you to hold me
In your sweet embrace
Till I can fly again
Higher than today
Just an earth-bound angle in the end
Learning how to pray 

Dear lord if you can hear me
I’m on my knees as you can see
And in trouble once again
But I’m guessing that you know
All about the fool / who just can’t let it show

So, I turn to you
Hoping I might see
The image of the man you made in me

[Chorus]
I’m asking for forgiveness
I’m asking for your grace
I’m asking you to hold me
In your sweet embrace
Till I can fly again
Higher than today
Just an earth-bound angle in the end
Learning who to pray

[Bridge]
Been too long on my own
Too long turned away
Tryin’ to make it home
When I pray

[Chorus]
I’m asking for forgiveness
I’m asking for your grace
I’m asking you to hold me
In your sweet embrace
Till I can fly again
Higher than today
Just an earth-bound angle in the end

Till I can fly again
Higher than today
Just an earth-bound angle in the end

Learning how to pray

Hello, my name is Mark. Thank you for checking out my songs. I’m a songwriter living in Portland Maine.  I write mostly country songs because that’s the music I listened to growing up.  Though I’ve branched out a bit through the years at the core I’m still county.

I’m interested in networking and writing with others to improve my craft. Ultimately I’m looking for a publishing company to take these songs to new and established artists. 

Thanks again.
Mark
