Give Thanks For All The Food We Eat – Lyrics

Verse 1

From fish and chips in Blackpool to burgers in New York,
From pizza in Verona to sweet and sour pork.
From schnitzel in Vienna to sushi in Japan,
Give thanks for all the food we eat in God’s special plan.

Chorus

Give thanks, give thanks for all the food we eat,
Give thanks, give thanks for all the food we eat.

Verse 2

From Welsh cakes in Porthmadog to paella in Seville,
From mayonnaise in Belgium to tortillas in Brazil.
From sausages in Berlin to rice in Pakistan,
Give thanks for all the food we eat in God’s special plan.

Chorus

Verse 3

From haggis in the Highlands to croissant in Paris,
From plantains in Jamaica to Lapsang Souchong tea.
From fondue in Geneva to kippers in the Isle of Man,
Give thanks for all the food we eat in God’s special plan.

Chorus (twice)
