When asked to say grace at a meal I prefer to sing, and most often have sung the old chestnut, the chorus to Johney Appleseed. which goes as follows.
Oh, the Lord’s been good to me.
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need:
The sun, the rain and the appleseed;
Oh, the Lord’s been good to me. Johney Appleseed amen.
Today I wrote this song Your Blessing Lord to sing for grace,
We thank you Lord for everyone here gathered We thank you Lord for all the love each brings We thank you Lord for the bread upon the table We thank you Lord we have a song to sing
Your blessing Lord is all that really matters. Your blessing Lord on all of us who dine Please bless this food upon our humble table. Your blessing Lord turns water into wine Your blessing Lord turns water into wine
May it be a blessing to your and yours

Hi, Jack….How delightful ! I think that I would rather ‘sing’ a blessing on the food, than ‘say’ one! Went to YouTube and listened to the Johnny Appleseed blessing song sung by a happy family~~Thank-You PS: Hope that you are doing well! Judy
Hi Judy my wife and I once had the pleasure of being invited to the breakfast of an Old Colony Mennonite family. Besides all the food being home made, they sang a hymn for grace, in four part harmony, each with their own hymnbook replete with the shape note system. It was so sweet and memorable. blessings Jack
