# **Verse 1**
Today with grateful hearts we stand,
United by God's mighty hand.
For every parent, every guide,
Who walks in faith with love and pride.
The seeds you've sown with tears and prayer,
The sleepless nights, the constant care,
The Lord has seen each sacrifice,
Your labour is a precious prize.

I believe this version would be especially meaningful for a **Christian school** because it doesn't just thank the staff and parents—it speaks God's promises over their lives using Scripture. It can be performed by a school choir, with students alternating between singing and reciting the Bible verses for a powerful and memorable presentation.
