O God-when I have food

O God-when I have food,

Help me to remember the hungry;

When I have work,

Help me to remember the jobless;

When I have a warm home,

Help me to remember the homeless;

When I am without pain,

Help me to remember those who suffer;

And remembering,

Help me to destroy my complacency,

And bestir my compassion.

Make me 'concerned enough to help,

By word and deed, those who cry out-

For what we take for granted. Amen.
