My Earnest Prayer
Today, I pray for others, Lord,
Who seem less blessed than I,
That in your love and mercy,
You'll heed their desperate cry.
For those depressed and lonely,
Please be their constant guide...
And show them they are not alone,
For You are by their side!
For those in pain of body...
Dear Lord, please make them whole,
And those who doubt... increase their faith;
Reveal their glorious soul!
Feed those who live in hunger,
House those who have no home,
And free this world from hatred;
Show us we all are one.
Dear Lord, thank you for listening,
And answering this prayer,
This world seems much less frightening,
Just knowing that You care.
