My Kitchen Prayer

MY KITCHEN IS A HAVEN

THATS MINE AND MINE ALONE

IT BRINGS ME GREATER COMFORT

THAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN

SO LORD I ASK YOU KINDLY

TO BLESS THIS HALLOWED SPOT

WHERE I PERFORM MIRACLES

WITH OVEN, PAN AND POT

PLEASE ALSO BLESS MY COOKING

SO THAT EACH MEAL I MAKE

BRINGS DEEPEST SATISFACTION

TO ALL WHO MIGHT PARTAKE

AND LORD LET ME OFFER

MY WARMEST THANKS TO YOU

FOR GRANTING US OUR DAILY BREAD

AND OTHER BLESSINGS TOO.
