My dad
My dad, in heaven,
You are holy and special.
May our world become more like yours.
May more and more things be done your way.
Thank you for giving us everything that we need.
Help us to forgive other people when they have done wrong,
Just like you always forgive us.
Help us not to be naughty,
Keep us away from bad people and bad places,
And from doing bad things.
All the world is yours and you can do everything,
Now and always.
Amen.
Conquers all
Different shapes and sizes
Different colours too.
Different backgrounds, different places
But made to be like you.
Peace can be forgotten
Peace gets left behind.
Peace is what you bring to us
And want the world to find.
Love for one another
Love for large and small
Love for every one of us
Love that conquers all.
Father forgive
When we don’t show friendship,
Father forgive.
When we are greedy and want more than we need,
Father forgive.
When we think badly of others,
Father forgive.
When we think that we know better than you,
Father forgive.
He’s there
Mum and dad are worried about work
And I get stressed at school
Mortgage, shopping, holidays -
How will we pay for all?
Mum and dad, so much to do
And I’ve got friends to meet.
Work and gym and friends to see
As well as driving me.
Mum and dad just won’t slow down
They’re always on the go
Each day just goes on flying by
It’s gone before we know.
Mum and dad, please take a breath
And spend some time with me
I need your love and your time
So much you need to see.
Mum and dad please take a breath
And spend some time in prayer
God wants to spend some time with you
For you to know he’s there.
Love one another
Love one another.
What? Even those unkind to me,
Who say rude words and do bad things?
Yes, love one another.
What? Even those who fight and harm,
And don’t do what they’re told
Yes, love one another.
What? I don’t know how, how is that done?
Please show me what to do.
I need your love
I need you close
I need to know you’re there.
When you’re with me
It can be done –
I’ll show your love and care.
