Whenever the Rogers family gathers, we say this prayer before meals. I'm not sure the history of it, but it definitely goes back a generation or two in the family. UPDATE: My mom gave me a bit more history on the prayer. The first half comes from Psalm 103 and is the prayer traditionally said by my grandfather's family. The second half as the prayer that my grandmother's family would say. When they got married, the combined the two family prayers into one.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all his benefits.
God is good and God is great,
And we thank him for our food.
By his hand we all are fed.
Give us, Lord, our daily bread.
Amen
