A song for Sunday -- or any day

THESE THINGS WE ASK

Give us this day our daily bread

Stop the roof from leaking over our heads

And don't let us be too easily led

These things we ask of you

Watch over our souls while we're asleep

Keep the price of tomatoes from climbing too steep

Make the rest of our years always be leap

These things we ask of you

(Chorus) These things we ask of you, dear Lord

These things we ask of you

We'll get by somehow if you don't come through

But these things we ask of you

Bow heads at the table, kneel by our beds

We think with our hearts, we thank with our heads

But you're in the black, Lord, and we're in the red

These things we ask of you

(Chorus) These things we ask of you, dear Lord

These things we ask of you

We'll get by somehow if you don't come through

But these things we ask of you

We fall on our faces, we fall on our knees

We know, dear Lord, you do as you please

Help us to tell the woods from the trees

These things we ask of you

(Chorus) These things we ask of you, dear Lord

These things we ask of you                                           

We'll get by somehow, we always do

But these things we ask of you

Repeat a cappella
