Father's Table Grace 歌词

As we sit at our table our family heads bowed low My thoughts return to childhood and the finest man I know He doesn't speak good English he's just a simple man But when he's talkin' to the Lord even a little child can understand I was young and reckless the thought still comes to me When I told my dad I felt I was old enough to leave He sat there at the table and I looked him on his face And he never spoke another word till he said the table grace He said our graceous heavenly father we all gathered here today To give the things for blessings so humble we pray My oldest son is leaving but I'm sure he knows what's best But just in case would you stand by and help him stand the test Lord he's awful neglectful about church on Sunday morn And if he gets with a wrong crowd would you let him hold your arm And if he flies too high would you clip his wings But don't let him fall too hard I'm sure you can hand the things I've tried my best from day to day to teach him right from wrong And he's grown to be a fine young man and he always blessed our home We pray dear Lord for guidance that he won't build upon the sand But I won't worry half as much if I know he's in your hands And oh yes Lord it won't be long till I'll be coming home Don't make me wait too long We pray dear Lord for guidance please cleance us from our sins So we can all be together in heaven in Jesus name amen The table was silent as tears went down my face And from that day on I base my life on father's table grace
