Poems-Prayers

Bless this Home

Ella Miller

Bless this home, O Lord, we pray

Guard it safely night and day, 

Bless the family living here 

Bind them close with love and cheer. 

Bless the food which is prepared

And each guest with whom it's shared. 

Bless the children through the years 

Guide them in their joys and tears. 

Bless the Mother - tender, kind

And the Father by her side 

Bless their pure and faithful love 

Making home like Heaven above. 

Bless this home, O Lord, we pray

Where we live and walk and play, 

Bless us all that ever we 

May live O gracious Lord, with Thee.

My Little Kitchen

by M. Peterson

God bless my little kitchen
I love its every nook
And bless me as I do my work
Wash pots and pans and cook.
And may the meals that I prepare
Be seasoned from above
With Thy great blessing and Thy grace
But most of all Thy love.
As we partake our earthly food
The table before us spread
We'll not forget to thank Thee, Lord
Who gives us daily bread.
So bless my little kitchen, Lord
And those who enter in
May they find naught but joy and peace 

And happiness therein.

***

Thank God for dirty dishes
They have a tale to tell
While others may go hungry

We're eating very well

***

God bless the friend

Who sees my needs and reaches out a hand,

Who lifts me up, who prays for me

and helps me understand.

***
You've blessed me with friends and laughter and fun
With rain that's as soft as the light from the sun
You've blessed me with the stars to brighten each night
You've given me help to know wrong from right
You've given me so much, so please Lord give me too
A heart that is always Grateful to you.
