《Father’s Table Grace (Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:08] As we sit at our table our family heads bowed low

[00:00:12] My thoughts return to childhood and the finest man I know

[00:00:18] He doesn't speak good English he's just a simple man

[00:00:21] But when he's talkin' to the Lord even a little child can understand

[00:00:27] I was young and reckless the thought still comes to me

[00:00:31] When I told my dad I felt I was old enough to leave

[00:00:36] He sat there at the table and I looked him on his face

[00:00:40] And he never spoke another word till he said the table grace

[00:00:45] He said our graceous heavenly father we all gathered here today

[00:00:50] To give the things for blessings so humble we pray

[00:00:55] My oldest son is leaving but I'm sure he knows what's best

[00:00:59] But just in case would you stand by and help him stand the test

[00:01:05] Lord he's awful neglectful about church on Sunday morn

[00:01:09] And if he gets with a wrong crowd would you let him hold your arm

[00:01:14] And if he flies too high would you clip his wings

[00:01:19] But don't let him fall too hard I'm sure you can hand the things

[00:01:24] I've tried my best from day to day to teach him right from wrong

[00:01:30] And he's grown to be a fine young man and he always blessed our home

[00:01:35] We pray dear Lord for guidance that he won't build upon the sand

[00:01:41] But I won't worry half as much if I know he's in your hands

[00:01:46] And oh yes Lord it won't be long till I'll be coming home

[00:01:51] Don't make me wait too long

[00:01:53] We pray dear Lord for guidance please cleance us from our sins

[00:01:57] So we can all be together in heaven in Jesus name amen

[00:02:03] The table was silent as tears went down my face

[00:02:07] And from that day on I base my life on father's table grace
