Lyrics

Farmer's prayer

This life brings out the blood, sweat and tears
Working on the land is not always fair
But God gave him the strength to make this living
So He offers up what He calls a farmer's prayer

He said Lord please bless the soil that we stand on
Bless all the crops we planted in Your name
Hold them safely in Your hand until the harvest
And help us when we do it all again
He'd take a moment to bow His head right there
And that He's how He'd say the farmer's prayer

Through the ages this work is a changing
You've gotta have faith and know God's always there
We're doing His important work to feed the hungry
So don't forget to say the farmer's prayer

He said Lord please bless the soil that we stand on
Bless all the crops we planted in Your name
Hold them safely in Your hand until the harvest
And help us when we do it all again
He'd take a moment to bow His head right there
And that He's how He'd say the farmer's prayer


He's aging now but He still loves the spring time
When He sows the seeds and smells rain on the air
He's grateful for His life and all the seasons
And He knows that God will hear His farmer's prayer

He said Lord please bless the soil that we stand on
Bless all the crops we planted in Your name
Hold them safely in Your hand until the harvest
And help us when we do it all again
He'd take a moment to bow His head right there
And that He's how He'd say the farmer's prayer
That is how He'd say the farmer's prayer
