Graces to Say or Sing with Children

All hold hands around the table
and sing to the tune of the nursery
rhyme "Frere Jacques":

Lord, we thank you
Lord, we thank you
For our food,
For our food,
We ask you for your blessing,
We ask you for your blessing,
A-a-men, A-a-men.

                                           African grace
The bread is warm and fresh,
The water cool and clear.
Lord of all life, be with us,
Lord of all life, be near.

                                             One for Fun
God bless this bunch,
As we munch our lunch.


                         Johnny Appleseed Grace
The Lord is good to me,
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need,
The sun, the rain and the apple seed,
The Lord is good to me.

                                              Thanks a Lot
Thanks a lot for the food, Lord,
Thanks a lot for the food.
We all love you a lot, Lord,

So thanks a lot for the food.

                                     Thank you Father
Thank you Father for everything,
For your creation, everyday miracles,
Thank you Father for everything,
We are your family, forever.  Amen.

We thank you Lord for happy hearts,
For rain and sunny weather,
We thank you Lord for this our food,
And that we are together.

                                           For our Plenty

Now my plate is full,
But soon it will be gone.
Thanks you for my food
And please help those with none.

Thank you Lord for giving us food!
Thank you Lord for giving us food!
For our daily bread,
For we need to be fed,
Thank you Lord for giving us food!


                                          Thank you For the World
Thank you For the World so sweet (hum, hum),
Thank you for the food we eat, (yum, yum)
Thank you for the birds that sing-a-ling-a-ling,
Thank you God for everything.  Amen.

                                                             God is Great

And we thank Him for our food,
We're gonna thank Him morning, noon
and night,
We're gonna thank You Lord,
You're out-a-sight.
