The Lord's Prayer
Jeff Alexander Orchestra and Chorus Frank Sinatra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our Father, who art in heaven, hollowed 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 trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.




Overall Meaning

The Lord's Prayer by Jeff Alexander Orchestra and Chorus featuring Frank Sinatra is a beautiful rendition of one of the most well-known prayers in Christianity. The lyrics begin with, "Our Father, who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name," which points to the sanctity and holiness of the Almighty Father. The prayer continues with the hope that the kingdom of God will come and his will will be done on earth just as it is in heaven.


The next line, "Give us this day our daily bread," is a humble request for God's provision, asking Him only for enough for this day. In the following lines, the prayer acknowledges the human tendency to sin and asks for forgiveness. It's also a reminder that as much as we ask for the forgiveness of our own sins, we must also be willing to forgive others. The prayer ends with a request to be delivered from temptation and evil, with the recognition that God's power and glory reign forever.


The instrumental version of the song is hauntingly beautiful and enhances the lyrics' emotional depth. Sinatra's voice adds a certain level of gravitas and solemnity to the prayer. One can almost imagine being in a church or chapel, surrounded by candles and incense, and hearing this music as part of a religious service.
