Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. We bow our heads and close our eyes And say a little prayer. We thank our Father graciously For blessings we all share.
2. We bow our heads and close our eyes And ask that thru the day The Lord will keep us safe from harm, At home, at school or play.
