Offer Your Prayer
Parody of "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" by Simon & Garfunkel
(Matthew 5:14-16, 9:37-38)

Are you goin' to offer your prayer:
"Lord, please save those near me in time"
Remember He truly wanted you there
To be someone through whom love would shine

Tell Him to make you a candle on earth
(Shinin' bright on a hill as you speak for His grace)
"Lord, please save those near me in time"
(Straight as an arrow that points them to Christ)
That all may see your righteous good works
(Blameless and steadfast -- a child of the Almighty)
Then they'll see the true Lord behind
(Despite a world that is cloudy and cold)

Help, Lord, to find me good favor with man
(God, as I do Your will while sprinkling Your seeds)
"Lord, please save those near me in time"
(Clutching the plow while sowing in tears)
To teach them Our Father's amnesty plan
(Our souls You cleanse, abolishing our sin)
Then they'll see the true love of Christ

Father, send reapers with their sickles from Heaven
(Here below saving a harvest of millions)
Lord, please save those near me in time
(Send them, oh Lord, as You told us You will)
And gather them all – an abundance of brethren
(As a bride for the Christ, Your one and own begotten)
Then they'll see the Truth and the Life

Are you goin' to God with your prayer:
"Lord, please save those near me in time"
Remember He truly wanted you there
He wants us – His true love to shine
