Story Behind The Song
At this time in my life I involved in something that made me ashamed to approach God in prayer. So I didn't for a long time. This song reflects on my lack of attention to my spirituality and the realization that I needed God in my life - even if my behaviour was sometimes disappointing.
Song Description
When we get caught up in the world and the hectic pace of day to day life, it becomes easy to neglect spiritual things.

Lyrics
FORGOTTEN TO PRAY
Written by: Shannon Lee
OH LORD, I?VE FORGOTTEN TO PRAY
OH LORD, I?VE FORGOTTEN TO PRAY
?CUZ THERE?S STILL A VOID IN MY HEART
AND THERE? S STILL A LONGING IN MY SOUL
OH LORD, I?VE NEGLECTED TO THANK YOU
OH LORD, I?VE NEGLECTED TO SAY
THAT I KNOW ALL BLESSINGS COME FROM YOU
YES I KNOW YOU WILL NEVER FORSAKE
WHEN THOSE ARROGANT ONES QUESTION YOUR MOTIVES
WHEN THOSE PITIABLE SOULS DENY THAT YOU ARE
LET THE BEAUTY OF YOUR CREATION NEVER ESCAPE ME
LEST I LOSE HUMILITY AND DIGNITY
OH LORD, I?VE COMMITTED WRONGDOING
OH LORD, I?VE CAUSED YOU SOME PAIN
BUT I KNOW THAT YOU PERFECTION FORGIVES ME
AND I ASK YOU TO SHOW ME THE WAY
