We Bow Our Heads (archives) is a sweet and easy Primary Song that’s perfect for introducing or talking about Prayer with your Primary kids. I love all the action words within the song – to bow, close, say, thank, ask!
It’s a powerful lesson being taught that we can ask of our Heavenly Father for the things we may be in need of. And with this We Bow Our Heads Flip chart, you’ll be able to introduce the song easily or use it as a welcome reverence song!

You can find We Bow Our Heads sheet music here.
Verse 1:
We bow our heads and close our eyes
And say a little prayer.
We thank our Father graciously
For blessing we all share.
Verse 2:
We bow our heads and close our eyes
And ask that thru the day
The Lord will keep us safe from harm,
At home, at school or play.
