A Prayer For a Stranger

That man on the bus who was just a few feet away I asked the Holy Spirit to come upon him today And that lady in the news who I saw on television I ask that He would send a sense of God's only Son The long haul driver all alone out there on the highway For a faith that will fill your every need I will always pray And the elderly woman just ahead in line at the market I just prayed in seeing that Your Light was already lit The children all around laughing and just enjoying play Lord I know You are intimately watching over their day But of their parents for whom some seem to have no concern I pray that it is now Your Gift that they are now able to discern The school bus with so many innocent children as they ride How the school system just tossed Your Blessed Name aside And St. Francis for the poor little dog outside in there in a cage That he will no longer have to suffer nor feel his owners selfish rage And let me not forget my enemies and all those who try to destroy May the Lord Jesus touch their heart as with the greatest of joy Oh my spiritual checking account how I often use and will never close For with just one prayer who can ever ponder what the Lord now sows How's your spiritual checking account?
