I prayed for you today, my friend,
I hope that you don't mind.
I'm looking forward to going to Heaven someday,
And I don't want you left behind.

I pray the Holy Spirit
Will somehow find a way
To show you how much God cares
And win you to Him today.

You see, my friend, God loves you
And wants you to have the best.
So won't you come to Him in faith
And enjoy peace and rest.

God doesn't ask you to earn his love
By things that you can do.
He only asks you to trust his son
So that forgiveness can come to you.

Christ died and paid the penalty
For all the wrong you've done.
He freely died that you might live --
The victory has been won.

I prayed for you today, my friend
And I'll do the same tomorrow.
I'll pray that your eternity
Will be filled with joy--not sorrow.
