Each time I am depressed
Or feeling low
I turn to God
I send up a little prayer
To Him to help me keep running
So that I not have to stop
Each time I am physically exhausted
Or really low on mental energy
I turn to God
I send up a little prayer
To Him to keep my morale up
So that I not have to stop
Each time I am hurt
By a friend or foe
I turn to God
I send up a little prayer
To Him to keep my head high
So that I do not have to stop
Each time something goes wrong
Owing to an action of mine
I turn to God
I send up a little prayer
To Him to help me rectify the error
So that I do not have to stop
Each time I have sent up a prayer
For whatever reason
God has turned back to me
And smilingly if not answering it
Has given me the courage and strength
So that I have never had to stop
