I knelt to pray when day was done
And prayed, O Lord, bless everyone,
Lift from each saddened heart the pain
And let the sick be well again.<\/p>\n
And then I woke another day
And carelessly went upon my way,
The whole day long I did not try
To wipe a tear from any eye.
I did not try to share the load
Of any brother on the road.
I did not even go to see
The sick man just next door to me.<\/p>\n
Yet once again when day was done I prayed,
O Lord, bless everyone.<\/p>\n
But as I prayed, into my ear
There came a voice that whispered clear,
Pause now, my son, before you pray.
Whom have you tried to bless today?
Gods sweetest blessings always go
By hands that serve him here below.<\/p>\n
And then I hid my face and cried,
Forgive me, God, I have not tried.
But let me live another day
And I will live the way I pray.<\/p>\n
