This is a sung prayer by Patricia Smith for children. She covers many sorts of prayer in an accessible way.
You can buy the sheet music at Willow or go the whole hog and by the book, Don’t Just Stand There.
The break between verses is for moving around and following the leader so I left it in my backing. I know it is meant for movement and dancing but as a simple chanted prayer for adults it might be surprisingly direct and powerful.
1 Hey God! How’re you going? It’s so good to talk to you!
Hey God, help me always be your friend and follow in your ways.
2 Hey God, I’m so thankful for the things you’ve given me.
Hey God, help me always use your gifts and follow in your ways.
3 Hey God, I’m so sorry for the wrong things I’ve done.
Hey God, help me always do what’s right and follow in your ways.
4 Hey God, There’s a problem. help me know what I should do.
Hey God, help me always make good choices and follow in your ways.
5 Hey God! Thanks for listening! It’s been good to talk to you.
Hey God, help me always be your friend and follow in your ways.
