Lord, as I'm nearing the end of yet another day
Have I held someone's hand along the way
Have I been there for those whose spirit mourn
Or prayed for the healing of a heart that's torn
Did I take the time to share a smile
Or wipe tears from the face of a crying child
Did I show love and kindness to those on the street
Or simply ignore them as I walked on hurriedly
Did I try to help someone whose life is filled with strife
Or did I heap hot coals on an already shattered life
Did you hear me Lord even one time pray
For the sick, the imprisoned, the hungry or lame
Did I witness to neighbors or friends that are lost
Am I really following after you Lord no matter the cost
Was there anything about me Lord that others might see
That Jesus Christ and his love truly abides in me
Or was I too busy with all my aches and pains
And thoughts of one day all I hoped to gain
If you saw me praying for healing, It must have been for mine
You see Lord today I haven't been feeling very kind
And that cryiong child with tearstained eyes
just reminded me of how bad I felt and I wanted to run away and hide
Lord I really didn't want to see my family or friends
All I really wanted Lord was for this day to end
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me Lord
For wasting another day
I've not even read your Word Lord or taken the time to pray
Will you give me another chance Lord to make things right with you
I know that I've been slothful Lord in the thing that I should do
The sun is going down on this day Lord and it's a beautiful sight to see
And in my heart I hear your voice Lord speaking so tenderly
Let not your heart be troubled or filled with such dismay
I've heard your prayer , I forgive and tomorrow's another day
