The seed goes in the ground,
The seed goes in the ground,
The sun, the rain will make the grain,
The seed goes in the ground.

The grain goes to the mill,
The grain goes to the mill,
God's wind and power make the flour.
The grain goes to the mill.

The flour makes the bread,
The flour makes the bread.
From seed to bread, God keeps us fed,
That's how God's love is spread!

Today, God our father, we thank you in prayer,
And ask you to bless all the food that we share.
We ask you to keep us in your tender care.
Guide us this day, to choose the right way.
Amen.

Be with us tomorrow and each new day

O dearest God above us, *
You've met all our needs;
We thank thee,
As we bow our heads to pray.

For food in a world where many walk in hunger;
For faith in a world where many walk in fear.
For friends in a world where many walk alone,
We give you humble thanks, O Lord.

We thank you Lord for daily bread,
For rain and sunny weather.
We thank you Lord for this our food,
And that we are together.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Lord,
Thank you, thank you Father,
Thank you Lord for this our food,
And that we are together.

Zip a dee do dah, Zip a dee ay,
I am grateful for God's blessings today.
I've plenty to eat, to drink and to share,
I sit at God's table and see love everywhere.

Many religions say a short prayer before a meal, in which a blessing is asked and thanks are given. In Christianity this prayer is called "Grace." Non-religious people may still want to give thanks before a big meal, such as a Thanksgiving Dinner, or may be asked to do so at a formal event. Obviously people who don't believe in a god are not giving thanks to God but they can say more than just "Bon Appétit!"

In fact, a godless grace can be very moving: it allows time for reflection and thanks focused on this world, appreciating the value of nature and acknowledging the human effort which went into bringing food, family and friends together for a meal. Nor does a secular benediction need to be explicitly atheist, or exclude anyone because of their beliefs.

Giving thanks before a meal can be just a few words spoken from the heart and finished quickly before the food gets cold! Expressing gratitude for the food and appreciation of the company is all that is needed. Or this may be an opportunity to go around the table and have each person say what they are grateful for.

Chapatti, Chapatti, Puri and rice!

Burrito, tacquito, spaghetti and spice!

Dim sum, egg foo yong,

Two all-beef patties, special sauce on a bun.

Hands across the table,

Hands across the sea,

Sharing in the banquet of the earth! Thanks!

For what we are about to receive
let us be truly thankful
…to those who planted the crops
…to those who cultivated the fields
…to those who gathered the harvest.

For what we are about to receive
let us be truly thankful
to those who prepared it and those who served it.

In this festivity let us remember too
those who have no festivity
those who cannot share this plenty
those whose lives are more affected than our own
by war, oppression and exploitation
those who are hungry, sick and cold

In sharing in this meal
let us be truly thankful
for the good things we have
for the warm hospitality 
and for this good company.

We've filled our plates and dishes,
With food that is nutritious,
And all that we wish is,
To thank you very much.

Da da da da (snap snap)
Da da da da (snap snap)
Da da da da, da da da da,
Da da da da (snap snap)
