When Daddy Said Grace
When Daddy said Grace,
The world stood still
Angels, breathless, at attention
As he asked God's will.
God's will be done
Pray, protect us all -
No hunger, no war,
Before the next nightfall.
When Daddy said Grace,
He prayed for peace,
Bring the soldiers home,
Dear Lord, Please!
He blessed the meal,
The hands that prepared,
Lord, reign down Your mercy,
Let none be spared.
When Daddy said Grace
Momma sang along
With hearty "Amens"
In a voice so strong!
Now when we say Grace
The angels stand still,
He and Momma watch o'er us
As we ask 'God's Will'.
