Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our Father,
Which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debt,

As we forgive our debtors.
Ah
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
For ever
For ever
For ever Amen.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
For ever
For ever

For ever Amen.
Amen

Overall Meaning

Benny Hinn's rendition of The Lord's Prayer is a beautiful and powerful interpretation of the Christian prayer commonly recited. The first line of the prayer, "Our Father, Which art in heaven," emphasizes the relationship between believers and God, asserting that God is not only a creator but a nurturing, caring presence in their lives. The next line, "Hallowed be thy Name," is a declaration of reverence and respect for God, showing recognition of God's holiness and divine attributes.

The prayer implores God to bring His kingdom to earth and to follow His will, creating a sense of unity and harmony between heaven and earth. The line "Give us this day our daily bread," asks God to provide believers with the sustenance they need to survive, both physically and spiritually. It also serves as a reminder of the blessing of having enough to eat.

The final stanza of the prayer reaffirms God's power and glory, recognizing Him as the ultimate authority and ruler of all things. The repetition of the phrase "For ever, for ever, for ever Amen" provides a sense of completion and closure to the prayer, as well as a sense of awe and wonder at God's infinite grace and power.
