《Father’s Table Grace》歌词

[00:00:00] Father's Table Grace - Lester Flatt/Curly Seckler

[00:00:18] As we sit at the table my family heads bowed low

[00:00:25] My thoughts return to childhood

[00:00:28] And the finest man I know

[00:00:31] He doesn't speak good English he's just a simple man

[00:00:37] But when he's talkin' to the Lord

[00:00:40] Even a little child can understand

[00:00:46] I was young and foolish but the

[00:00:49] Thought still comes to me

[00:00:51] When I told daddy I felt I was

[00:00:55] Old enough to leave

[00:00:57] He sat there at the table and

[00:01:00] I looked him on his face

[00:01:02] But he never spoke another

[00:01:03] Word till he said the table grace

[00:01:09] He said our graceous heavenly

[00:01:11] Father we all gathered here today

[00:01:16] To give these things

[00:01:17] Of blessings so humbly we pray

[00:01:22] My oldest son is leaving and

[00:01:25] I sure he knows what's best

[00:01:28] But just in case would you

[00:01:29] Stand by and help his to stand the test

[00:01:34] Lord he's a little bit neglectful

[00:01:37] About church on Sunday morn

[00:01:39] And when he gets with a wrong

[00:01:41] Crowd would you let to hold his arm

[00:01:46] And if he flies too high would you clip her wings

[00:01:52] But don't let her fall too hard Lord

[00:01:55] I'm sure you can hand the things

[00:01:59] I've tried my best from day to

[00:02:01] Day to teach his right from wrong

[00:02:05] And now he's grown to be a fine young man

[00:02:09] And he always blessed our home

[00:02:14] We pray dear Lord for guidance

[00:02:16] He won't build upon the sand

[00:02:19] And we won't worry half as much

[00:02:22] If we know he's in your hands

[00:02:26] And oh yes Lord it won't be long till

[00:02:29] I'll be coming home don't make mr wait too long

[00:02:34] We pray dear Lord for guidance

[00:02:36] Please cleance us from our sins

[00:02:39] So we can all be together in heaven

[00:02:42] In Jesus name amen

[00:02:46] The table was silent as tears ran down my face

[00:02:51] And from that day on I base

[00:02:53] My life on father's table grace
