School Prayer

We thank you God for giving us this day
We pray that you bless us in our work and our play
Bless our parents and our teachers too
For helping us in all that we do
We thank you for food, for home, and for rest,
And for being at our side when we are brought to the test
Bless our dear school and our motherland
Show us the way to walk hand-in-hand
Teach us the importance of working side by side
In your loving grace may we always abide

Prayer After School

O God, under whose mighty and gracious protection, our day was spent;
We thank Thee for the continuance of so many great blessings;
for the good examples we have seen; for the good words we have heard or read;
For all good thoughts and fine desires which have come to our minds.
O God, grant that these may not be unfruitful in us.
May God bless my mother, God bless my father, God bless my sisters, God bless my brothers,
God bless my teachers, God bless me and make me a good child.

Pledge

India is my country
All Indians are my brothers and sisters
I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.
I shall always strive to be worthy of it.

To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion
In their well-being and prosperity alone, lies my happiness

BIND US TOGETHER

(Chorus)
Bind us Together God
Bind us Together
With cords that cannot be broken
Bind us Together God
Bind us Together
Bind us Together with Love

1.There is only one God
There is only one King
There is only one body
That is why we sing (Chorus)

2.We are the children of God
We are the promise Divine
We are the Gods chosen desire
We are the glorious new vine (Chorus)

LISTEN

(Chorus)
Listen, let your heart keep seeking
Listen to its constant speaking
Listen to the spirit calling you
Listen to his invitation
Listen to its inspiration
Listen to the spirit calling you

He‛s in the sound of the thunder
In the patter of the rain
Hear him in the cries of the suffering
In their mourning and their pain (Chorus)

He speaks through all your companions
Through the friendly, through the foe
Therefore give ear to the spirit
Where so ever he may blow (Chorus)

PRAYER FOR PEACE

1. God we pray for golden peace
Peace all over the land
May all men dwell in liberty
Walking hand in hand

Chorus: Banish fear and ignorance
Hunger, thirst, and pain
Banish hate and poverty
Let no man live in vain

2. Keep all men forever on
One in love and grace
Wipe away all war and strife
Give freedom to each race (Chorus)

3. Let your justice reign supreme
And righteousness be done
Let goodness rule the hearts of men
And evil be overcome (Chorus)

JOY IS LIKE THE RAIN

1. I saw rain drops on my window
Joy is like the rain.
Laughter runs across my pane
Slips away then comes again
Joy is like the rain.

2. I saw clouds upon a mountain
Joy is like a cloud
Sometimes silver sometimes grey
Always sun not faraway
Joy is like a cloud.

3. I saw rain drops on the river
Joy is like the rain
Bit by bit the river grows
Till all at once it overflows
Joy is like the rain

HERE WE ARE ALL TOGETHER

Chorus: Here we all together
As we sing our song joyfully
Here we are all together
As we pray we’ll always be

Join us now as one To celebrate
The brotherhood we share,
All as one Keep the fire burning
Kindle it with care
Let us all join in and sing. (Chorus)

Glorify our God
With all our voices
Show him we are sincere
By all our deeds
Shout the joys of freedom everywhere
Let us all join in and sing. (Chorus)

Enlighten our minds, we beseech
Thee O God! With the light of
Thy Brightness so that we may be able to
See and have the strength to carry
Out what’s right and pleasing to Thee.

God thank you, for the night,
And of the pleasant morning light,
For rest and food and loving care.
And all that makes the world so fair,
Help us to do the things we should,
To be to others kind and good,
In all we do, in all we say,
To grow more loving every day.

We thank you, Lord, for one more day
For books and work, and walks and play,
We thank you for games and fun,
For day light, and the golden sun
We Thank you for the food we eat,
For friends and people what we meet,
For animals and trees and flowers,
And all the blessings which are ours.

God give me courage
To do what is right
Courage to speak, courage to fight
For honesty, goodness, justice and truth;
Courage to choose, the good in my youth,
Courage to own, when I’m in the wrong;
Courage to face the day, with a song,
Courage to guard my thoughts and my tongue
Courage to choose the right when I’m young.

MAKE ME A CHANNEL

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me bring your Love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
Oh Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, joy.
(Repeat Chorus)

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by Thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Whisper a prayer in the morning
Whisper a prayer at noon
Whisper a prayer in the evening
And keep your heart in tune.
God answers your prayer in the morning
God answers your prayer in the noon
God answers your prayer in the evening
So keep your heart in tune.

WE SHALL OVERCOME

We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome, someday
O deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, someday.
We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace someday
O deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall live in peace someday.
We shall walk hand-in-hand
We shall walk hand-in-hand
We shall walk hand-in-hand someday
O deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall walk hand-in-hand someday

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS....

There shall be showers of blessings,
This is the promise of love,
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the savior above,
Showers of blessing, showers of blessing we need,
Mercy drops round us are falling, but for the showers we plead.
There shall be showers of blessings
If we but trust and obey
There shall be seasons refreshing
If we let God have his way

WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE...

What a mighty God we serve (4) (Chorus)

Let us march and praise our God (4) (Repeat Chorus)
Let us dance and praise our God (4) (Repeat Chorus)

And that's why I'm happy today.

I'm smiling today
