Super Sweet Talks
Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in heaven
Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread Oh Lord
Father forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Deliver us from evil Oh Lord.
Father
For thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory
Have mercy upon us
Give us more blessings
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Amen.
The Super Sweet Talks' rendition of The Lord's Prayer, a Christian prayer attributed to Jesus is a soulful, reggae-infused anthem that seeks God's mercy, blessings, and deliverance from evil. The first two lines of the prayer acknowledge the fatherhood of God and His holiness while the next few lines implore for the arrival of God's kingdom and submission to God's will. The lines "Give us this day our daily bread" ask for divine provision and sustenance, acknowledging the need for God's help to meet our daily needs.
The next stanza entreats God for forgiveness, following Christ's teaching of forgiveness. The line "lead us not into temptation" is a request for God's guidance and strength to overcome temptation and the line, "deliver us from evil" is an acknowledgement of the existence of evil and a prayer for protection. The last stanza acknowledges God's authority, majesty, and mercy, asking for an everlasting supply of blessings.
The song's vibrant and soulful tone makes it a popular hymn for many Christian churches and is often sung during worship services. The Super Sweet Talks' version, in particular, blends reggae and gospel, creating a unique and catchy tune that has won the hearts of reggae lovers worldwide.
