Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our father which art in, which art in, which art in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
Thy will be done as it is done in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Our father (Our father) which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Our father which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven
Our father which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven
For thine is thy kingdom
The power and the glory
For ever and ever amen
For thine is thy kingdom
The power and the glory
For ever...
Whew! Our father must be happy wherever he is.
You kids are just beautiful!
Jesus, just come down and listen to these voices.
And...
Did you hear that?
Ever...
Shit!
Amen
The lyrics to Sarafina's song The Lord's Prayer are a rendition of the Christian prayer commonly referred to as The Lord's Prayer or Our Father. The song starts with the line "Hallowed be thy name," which is an acknowledgement of the sacredness and holiness of God's name. The next lines affirm God's location- "Our father which art in, which art in, which art in Heaven." The repetition of the second phrase creates a sense of awe and respect for God.
The prayer also includes a plea for God's provision- "Give us this day our daily bread." This line is a request for sustenance, both physical and spiritual. The next line, "Thy will be done as it is done in Heaven," asks that God's will be done on earth, just like it is done in heaven. This line emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's will.
The song concludes with an affirmation of God's power, glory, and eternal reign- "For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever amen." It is a reminder of God's sovereignty and our dependence on Him.
