A Childlike Prayer

Thank you, Father, for Jesus Christ;
Through Him I have eternal life!

Thank you, Lord for Mom and Dad
Who love me so and make me glad.

Thank you, Lord for Gram and Pappy
Who always hug and make me happy.

Thank you, Lord for sister and brother;
And if it’s okay, give me another!

Thank you for the sunny day
In which we run and laugh and play.

Thank you for the rain that falls
Making plants grow big and tall.

Thank you for the food we eat:
The beets, and sweets, and tasty treats!

Thank you for the lives we live
To love and play, and work and give.

And may our lives with thanks abound,
Echoing the joyful sound
Of praises to the God of Heaven
For all He’s done and all He has given.

Thank you, Father, for Jesus Christ;
Through Him I have eternal life!
