Standard (EADGBE)

Why do I pray? Do I pray to say I prayed an hour?

Why do I love? Do I want you beholden to me?

Why do I help? Do I help to hear my name called out?

 And why do I sing?

Chorus

Search me and know my heart, oh God.

See if there is any wrong thing in me.

All I have ever really wanted –

Clean hands and a pure heart.

Why do I give? Do I give so I can get a blessing?

Why do I praise? Do I praise to do the right thing?

Why do I serve? Do I serve so others will serve me?

And Why do I sing?

Chorus

Search me and know my heart, oh God.

See if there is any wrong thing in me.

All I have ever really wanted –

Clean hands and a pure heart.
