Grateful
That's not fair!
I want....
I Want...
I WANT...
Are words
I sometimes think or say.
But when I stop awhile
Or take the time to pray,
I know that's not the case at all.
It might be tough,
It might be hard
But it's really not unfair.
And want and need are not the same;
There are so many things I have.
So, thank you God for what I have
And all the things I do.
Help me to share, to give, to love,
And always say “thanks” to you.
Money
Pennies,
Pounds,
And bank accounts.
Credit cards,
Debit cards,
Sizeable amounts.
Money in,
Money out,
So many things to buy.
Eating things,
Wearing things,
So many things to try.
Thank you, God for the wealth we have.
Help us to be sensible and caring as we spend and save.
Need and greed
In our world there are those in need.
Jesus, help us to care for them.
In our world there is so much greed.
Jesus, help us to change our world.
Temptation
My friends have things
That I don’t have
And they don’t really need.
I have things
My friends don’t have
And I don’t really need.
We all have things
So many things
That we don’t really need.
Help us to share
And not show greed
And only want the things we need.
Thank you
I’m fed each day
And have clothes to wear,
Thank you for the life I live
And all the things I have.
I learn new things
And am loved so much
Thank you for the life I live
And all the things I have.
I have trips out
And holidays.
Thank you for the life I live
And all the things I have.
We pray
We pray for those who have no job
With bills to pay
And mouths to feed
Thank you that you care for them, help us to care for them too.
