Selah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our Father, in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven
For thine is the kingdom
Thine is the power, and the glory forever,
Forever Amen.

Give us, Lord give us
This day our daily bread
And forgive us, forgive us Lord
Forgive us of our debt
For thine is the kingdom
Thine is the power, and the glory forever,
Forever Amen, Amen.

Lead us, from temptation, Lead us from
Temptation, but deliver us, deliver us
From evil, to thy salvation
For thine is the kingdom
Thine is the power, and the glory forever Amen.





Thine is the kingdom, thine is the power
And the glory forever, forever Amen Amen

Overall Meaning

Selah's rendition of The Lord's Prayer is a moving ballad that beautifully captures the essence of the prayer Jesus taught his disciples. The lyrics of the song are quite straightforward but rich in meaning, highlighting the importance of reverence, submission, and faith in God. The opening verse of the prayer acknowledges the sovereignty and holiness of God, recognizing Him as our heavenly Father who deserves all honor and praise. The second verse expresses a longing for God's kingdom to come and His perfect will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. This verse also reiterates the eternal power and glory that belong to God, underlining His supremacy over all things.


The next line of the song is a petition for God's provision, asking Him to give us our daily bread, symbolizing our reliance on Him for sustenance. The following verse deals with our need for forgiveness, acknowledging our indebtedness to God and our imperfections. The prayer expresses a desire to be free from temptation and delivered from evil to God's salvation. The song ends with a powerful affirmation of God's kingdom, power, and glory, forever and ever, Amen. The repetitive nature of this closing line reinforces the idea that all the prayer conditions can be granted only by God, the King of kings.
