Christian Gospel Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen
The song, The Lord's Prayer, is a powerful and well-known Christian anthem performed by Christian Gospel Choir. The lyrics are based on the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples, found in the Gospel of Matthew. The song begins with an acknowledgment of God as "our Father" who is "in heaven." The next lines of the song ask that God's name be revered and that his kingdom come to earth.
The following line of the song requests that God's will be fulfilled on earth just as it is in heaven. This statement suggests that the singer wants to see the world become more virtuous and for people to follow God's will. The line, "Give us this day our daily bread," speaks to a desire for God's sustenance, protection, and guidance. The lyrics continue to ask for forgiveness of sins and to have the same grace and mercy extended towards others. The prayer ends with a request for protection and deliverance from evil. The final assertion that "thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory" reminds us of God's omnipotence and his sovereignty over all things.
