The Lord's Prayer
Bill Anderson & Jan Howard Lyrics

The Lord's Prayer is one of the most well-known and recited prayers in the world. This song, written by Bill Anderson and Jan Howard, is a musical interpretation of the prayer. The opening line, "Our father which art in heaven hallowed be Thy name," acknowledges God's presence and greatness. The following line, "Thy kingdom come Thy will be done there as it is in heaven," is a petition requesting for God's kingdom to come and for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

The next line, "Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," addresses our physical and spiritual needs. It mentions our daily bread, which refers to our basic physical needs, and forgiveness, which refers to our spiritual needs. It also emphasizes the importance of forgiving others in order to receive forgiveness. The final line, "And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil," acknowledges that we need God's help to resist temptation and overcome evil.
