You may have heard "God is great, God is good and we thank Him for our food" or "Come Lord Jesus be our guest, let these gifts to us be blessed"
Some families also do the songs "Johnny Appleseed", etc.
Some families say their own prayers.
My husband's family used some of the standard prayers and my family said our own prayers. Therefore, neither one of us have ever felt fully comfortable with the other's tradition.
In an attempt to make prayers at supper time original, but without pressure. My husband randomly started making up his own (typically centered around the meal)
Tonight I made up the prayer:
"Come Lord Jesus, join us now. Bless our family and bless this Cow" (we had french dip sandwiches) :D
