I recall, when my wife was teaching grade two, a parent came in to complain about a song / prayer my wife had made up for the children to sing before class began each day. I believe he may have been a JW.

She sang it to the parent and asked him if he had any objection, and he said "No" and left.

The song went:

"It's time to begin our day
Be near us Lord we pray
Help us always do what you'd want us to
Whether here, or at home, or at play"

Perhaps some of the atheists here would object.
