Unselfish Prayer

When you're tired pray for the weary
For their strength to carry on
If you're lost and your path's uncertain
Pray the lonely will find their way home

If you love this world more than God
Then pray for the addict who's bound
And when you feel that God's far away
Pray for the lost to be found

When suppertime comes before you pray 
Remember the hungry need fed
And when you're tired remember those
With no place to lay their head

God loves a cheerful giver
So don't forget to care
Always think of others
With this unselfish prayer
