A Prayer for Harvest

A PRAYER FOR HARVEST

John Marshall

Let us not gloat on profits

Let us not gloat on profits,
When children are hungry.
Let us not be concerned with fashion,
When sisters need clothing.
Let us not sit comfortably,
When brothers have no shelter.
Let us not waste food,
When mothers go without.
Let us not take choice for granted,
When fathers search through bins.
Let us not be complacent,
When families live in poverty.
Let us not ignore our neighbours,
When we know they need help.

Let us not forget the one,
Whose blood was shed for us.

Lord, enable us to appreciate that which you have freely given,
for the benefit of all your people.
Amen
