In the morning, before you get out of bed.
Or stretch your arms, brush your teeth, you should have said:
“I’m thankful” say your Modeh Ani.

Before your bagel, before you tie up your shoes.
Or walk the dog, feed the cat or go to school,
“I’m thankful” say your Modeh Ani.

Modeh Ani la’fanecha, melech Chai V’kayam.
Shehe-chezarta Bi, nishmati B’Chemla.
Raba Emunatecha. Raba Emunatecha.

Joanie: Why do we say the Modeh Ani?
Matt: Because we are thankful!
Joanie: What are we thankful for?
Matt: We are thankful for everything we have and everything we do.
It’s so important we say it before we do anything else.
Modeh Ani la’fanecha, melech Chai V’kayam.
Shehe-chezarta Bi, nishmati B’Chemla.
Raba Emunatecha. Raba Emunatecha.
