but please be forgiving; it’s just to give you an idea. I’m the first to admit that the children will perform it much better!

To make this a little more visual you could hold up appropriate drawings or foods etc for each verse.
Also, the “amen”s are meant to be sung by someone else at the relevant point as the children hold their note on the word “Lord”
Just have fun with it and tweak it as you choose. I hope it contributes to a lovely Harvest festival/ Thanksgiving celebration.
