I’ve worked in sales for many years
At times I would break down in tears
A sale did not go through
Or goals were far from true
Those days would just cement all of my fears

Those were the times that others came around
They would cajole me back to steady ground
Their leadership was good
Because they understood
That sales could ruin one who was not sound

Our walk with Jesus Christ is just like that
There are those days our faith just seems to lack
But others are on hand
To help us rise again
They share with us their faith and bring us back

Today I hope that you are not afraid
To reach out to someone who’s gone astray
They only need a friend
To take them by the hand
And change their course with simple words of prayer
