I kneel right down to say my prayer

 

And offer up my every care.

 

But first I thank for all I hold

 

And do not stop till each is told:

 

 

My eyes, my hands, my walking feet;

 

The friends I always love to greet;

 

My home and loving family;

 

Each of my blessings plain to see!

 

 

And then I pray for what I need:

 

For intellect to help me read;

 

For kind, sweet words among my friends;

 

For proper health and rain God sends.

 

 

I kneel right down to say my prayer

 

And realize that God is there.

 

He listens to my every word,

 

And this I know: my prayer is heard!
