There is a truly perfect prayer
That's totally complete
It speaks of love's submission
It spells out sin's defeat
The only prayer that understands
The purpose of our pain
When spoken from the heart
It is the perfect prayer of faith
Not my will but Thine be done
In these seven simple words the victory's won
The perfect prayer of God's anointed Son
Not my will but Thine be done
The Son of Man was tempted
To betray His Father's trust
He suffered for His loyalty
And died for each of us
In His sacrifice
He overcame the power of sin
Let's pray this perfect prayer
Take up our cross and follow Him
