Lord, so often times, on any other day
When we sit down to our meal and pray
We hurry along and make fast the blessing
Thanks, Amen. Now please pass the dressing.
But Lord, I’d like to take a few minutes more.
To really give thanks to what I am thankful for.
For my family, my health, a nice soft bed,
my friends, my freedom, a roof over my head.
I’m thankful right now to be surrounded by those
whose lives touch me more than they’ll ever know.
Thankful Lord, that you’ve blessed me beyond measure that in my heart lives life’s greatest treasure.
That You, dear Jesus, reside in that place and I am ever so grateful for Your unending grace.
So please Lord, bless this food You have provided and bless each and every person invited.
Amen
