Suppose those things you'd like to see changed

All depended on you

Would you be willing to meet the task

Doing all that you could do?



We need only to open our eyes to see

A world full of trouble and cares

Would any needs at all be met

If it depended on only our prayers?



How often we say, "I'll pray for you"

And merrily on we go

Never giving a thought to the need again

And the one who's hurting so



Lord, forgive us of our complacency

When we're neither hot nor cold

For our selfishness and passivity

In the security of your fold



How your heart must truly grieve

To see us wander away

So much from your hand we receive

As we look to you each day



Blessings too many to number

You've bestowed upon our souls

Awaken us, we pray, from slumber

To work within the fold

< br>
"To whom much is given, much is required"

May the needs not be left to our brother

But help us reach out as we're inspired

To meet the needs of another



And work heartily until the task is done

As though it depended on
