Our father, which are 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
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For thy is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory. Forever





Amen

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are a reference to The Lord's Prayer, a prayer spoken by Jesus Christ to his disciples in the New Testament of the Bible. The prayer begins with an acknowledgement of God as the father, who is in heaven, and the reverence for his name. The next line talks about the hope for his kingdom to come and his will to be done on Earth, mirroring the desires of heaven. The third line is a request for the daily provision of bread, both physical and spiritual.


The fourth line is a plea for forgiveness, both to ask for it and to extend it to others who have done wrong. This is followed by a request for guidance and protection from temptation and evil, with the understanding that God is the ultimate ruler of the kingdom, with all the power and glory that it entails. The closing word "Amen" is a confirmation of faith and agreement with the words spoken.

Thank u I needed to hear this and see this today. I am in a battle with my son but I am a praying momma and I know the Lord hears me and knows my son. He just got released from prison a week Saturday and is already in a physiatric hospital. He was done very bad in prison and is not in the right frame of mind and I am so scared for him. But seeing this has helped this hurting worried mommas heart ❤️
