ORA-01031: insufficient privileges SYS.DBMS_LOCK

I'm trying to compile a stored procedure which was using a package called 'DBMS_LOCK'. It was giving error when I was compiling it. The error was " PLS-00201: identifier 'SYS.DBMS_LOCK' must be declared". So I found that I need to grant some EXECUTE privilege on DBMS_LOCK. I was running the following statement "GRANT EXECUTE ON SYS.DBMS_LOCK TO USER;" and it was throwing the error "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges".

What I'm doing wrong, in here? If any of you have any ideas please let me know.

Thanks,
