A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House



Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.

Daddy What If

Daddy, what if the sun stopped shining?
What would happen then?

If the sun stopped shining,
you'd be so surprised
You'd stare at the heavens
with wide open eyes,
And the wind would carry
your light to the skies
And the sun would start shining again.

But, Daddy, what if the wind stopped blowing?
What would happen then?

If the wind stopped blowing,
then the land would be dry,
And your boat wouldn't sail and,
son, your kite couldn't fly,
And the grass would see your trouble
and she'd tell the wind,
And the wind would start blowing again.

But, Daddy, what if the grass stopped growing?
What would happen then?

Well, if the grass stopped growing
you'd probably cry,
And the ground would be watered
by the tears from your eyes,
And like your love for me,
that grass would grow so high.
Yes, the grass would start growing again.

But, Daddy, what if I stopped loving you?
What would happen then?

If you stopped loving me,
then the grass would stop growing,
The sun would stop shining
and the wind would stop blowing.
So you see, if you wanna keep
this old world a'going,
You'd better start loving me again, again...
You better start loving me again.
You hear me, Bobby?

You better start loving me again.
(You love me, Bobby? Yes)
You better start loving me again.

1973 brought Bobby Bare and Bobby Bare, Jr.
together for this poignant reminder,
written by Shel Silverstein,
that LOVE is everything.

Daddy What If
Bobby Bare & Son
