Praying for one another,
For our sister and our brother
Is pleasing to Our Blessed Lord
As we band together in one accord.

Each situation may be rough;
We pray enough strength to be tough,
With courage to face another day
Let's lift one another as we pray:

Lord, help my brother and sister today.

No matter how often we are asked to pray
Give us the compassion of Jesus this day.
Help us to emulate you, O Lord, please
So we turn not a deaf ear but fall to our knees.

In prayerful petition we pray for our friend
Not counting the cost even to the end
For it is in service to You we lift one another up
Til the saucer fills from the overflowing cup.

Lord, help my brother and sister today.
Lord, help my brother and sister today.
Lord, help my brother and sister today.
