WE THANK YOU GOD for our daily bread
In every way our lives have been blessed
And by your hands we’re fed
Why do we pray, bless us O Lord
You meet our needs, still we want more
What is Your blessing for
If not to feed the poor
To love justice, show mercy
This is the Kingdom of God
Open our eyes we need to care
Move in our hearts teach us to share
Your riches everywhere
Love beyond compare
We thank you God for our daily bread
In every way our lives have been blessed
And by your hands we’re fed
Noel & Tricia Richards, Tom Lane
