Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who is in Heaven
Hallowed and worshipped
Be Your name
May Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
Here on this earth
As it is in heaven
Our daily bread
And forgive us all our debts
As we forgive our debtors
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from every evil
For the kingdom and the power
Are Yours forever
The kingdom and the power
Are Yours forever
The kingdom, the power, and the glory
Are Yours forever
Our Father
Who is in Heaven
Hallowed and worshipped
Be Your name
May Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
Here on this earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us all our debts
As we forgive our debtors
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from every evil
For the kingdom and the power
Are Yours forever
The kingdom and the power
Are Yours forever
The kingdom, and the power, and the glory
Are Yours forever
The Lord's Prayer, as presented in the song by Don Francisco, is a timeless piece that has been cherished by many people for decades. The lyrics reference one of the most well-known prayers in the Christian faith, spoken by Jesus Christ himself during his Sermon on the Mount. It is a prayer that emphasizes the submission of oneself to the sovereignty of God, asking for his provision, guidance, and protection. The opening line, "Our Father who is in Heaven," establishes the prayer's intimate tone, which is reinforced throughout by the use of the first person plural pronoun "our." This line also emphasizes the personal relationship with God that is available to every believer through prayer.
The prayer then shifts towards the acknowledgment of God's power and holiness. "Hallowed be Your name," expresses reverence for God's name and acknowledges his sovereignty. "May Your kingdom come and Your will be done" expresses the desire for God's will to be fulfilled on earth just as it is in heaven. The following lines, "Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," emphasizes our dependability on God for everyday needs and our recognition of our own sinfulness. Finally, the prayer concludes with a plea for guidance and protection, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from every evil." The lyrics highlight the power, glory, and kingdom of God and encourage believers to seek him in prayer.
