Live the Way You Pray
By John | March 29, 2008
Live the Way You Pray
I knelt to pray when day was done,
And prayed: “Oh, Lord, bless everyone;
Lift from each saddened heart the pain
And let the sick be well again.”
And then I awoke another day
And carelessly went on 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.
Yet once again when day was done,
I prayed: “O, Lord, bless everyone.”
But as I prayed, into my ear
There came a voice that whispered clear,
“Pause, hypocrite, before you pray;
Whom have you tried to bless today?
“God’s sweetest blessings always go
By hands that serve him here below.”
And then I hid my face and cried,
“Forgive me, God, for I have lied;
Let me but live another day,
And I will live the way I pray.”
