Five Senses Praise
Say this before snack time.
For eyes that see
point to eyes
And hands that touch
rub hands together
Lord, I thank you very much
fold hands
For ears that hear
cup hands around ears
And a nose to smell,
wiggle nose
Lord, you've done all things well
thumbs up
And for taste buds
stick out tongue
When I eat
pretend to eat
Lord, you work is super neat.
