[Verse 1] I wake up and fold my hands By that old chipped coffee cup Sunlight spills across the table And I’m looking up Got a weary heart in pieces Got a long list at my door But I breathe out, “Father, hear me” Like I have before [Pre-Chorus] Take this day and make it holy Keep me close when I go wrong Teach my mouth to speak with mercy And my feet to linger long [Chorus] Our Father, up above Let Your name shine through my love Let Your will be done in me Like it is in heaven free Give me bread for one more mile Lead me home, and stay awhile Forgive me as I forgive Our Father, this is how I live (Our Father) (Our Father) [Verse 2] When the bills stack on the counter And the pasture turns to dust When temptation calls my name out And I’m running out of trust Keep me steady through the shadows Guard my heart and guard my tongue If the night gets loud and heavy Be the song I’m leaning on [Pre-Chorus] Take this day and make it holy Keep me close when I go wrong Teach my mouth to speak with mercy And my feet to linger long [Chorus] Our Father, up above Let Your name shine through my love Let Your will be done in me Like it is in heaven free Give me bread for one more mile Lead me home, and stay awhile Forgive me as I forgive Our Father, this is how I live (Our Father) (Our Father) [Bridge] I don’t need gold on my table I don’t need thunder in the sky Just a faith that keeps me humble And a hand that lifts me high Lead me past the easy road Past the bitter and the pride Till my heart says “Your way’s better” And I walk it by Your side [Chorus] Our Father, up above Let Your name shine through my love Let Your will be done in me Like it is in heaven free Give me bread for one more mile Lead me home, and stay awhile Forgive me as I forgive Our Father, this is how I live (Our Father) (Our Father) [Outro] Yeah, our Father This is how I live (Our Father) (Our Father)
