Sincere Prayer

How can You tell when my prayer's most sincere?
Is it, Lord, when I look You in the eye,
when with my heart I shout so You will hear,
or am I more sincere because I try?
Am I more real when I want something bad,
or I shed tears because I want it more,
or make demands, pray like I'm almost mad,
or pray more prayers than I have prayed before?
I add a sacrifice for quality,
I do persistant prayer stretched over time,
I pray with trust to have humility,
I work to put some praying into rhyme.
O God, so that my praying will be true,
I focus less on me and more on You.
