Musical Memory

Hey folks -- I'm compiling a collection of sung table graces. Care to contribute? What do you remember from camp meals?

For Health and Strength and Daily food, we give you thanks Oh Lord.

(To some traditional tune...I don't know the name of it though)
Before Thee, our Father, we bow in thanksgiving/for blessings un-numbered/upon us this day./ Be near now to bless us/cleanse,pardon and fill us/that we in thy service/may find joy always.

So am I allowed to at least vent on this page about my horrible childhood and how I never got to go to camp. Ooops I sure hope so because it's too late! ha ha ha

Poor Erin! I think a theory is forming here ... maybe your camp deprivation as a child is why you don't like camping now. Think so?

mel said...

Thanks for the graces, folks.

Rachel, feel free to just go crazy -- there's lots of space here!

I like the tuneless one you submitted, Janice. I'll never guess the melody, though!

Keep 'em coming....

I think this one is to the tune of "Rock Around The Clock"...

God is great, God is good,
Let us thank Him for our food!
We're gonna thank Him morning, noon and night.
Our God, our God is outta sight!
Amen, ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch!
Amen, ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch!

The ch-ch's are kind of like the sound you make in the song "You Brush Your Teeth." Actually, maybe that's what tune the song is to? Yeah, I think it is.

we thank thee Lord for this our food
but most of all for Jesus' blood
may manna to our souls be blessed
the breath of God sent down from heav'n
amen (in a very church-y harmonized way)

there's also one to the tune of montego bay that i can't remember at all

To the tune of "The Adams Family":

Na, na, na, na (snap, snap)
Na, na, na, na (snap, snap)
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na (snap, snap)
We thank you God for giving
The food we need for living,
Cause we really need it,
And we like it too!
Amen! (snap, snap)
Amen! (snap, snap)
Amen, amen, amen, LET'S EAT!
