Hallowed Be Thy Name

Title: "Hallowed Be Thy Name"

A song inspired by Matthew 6:9-13 from the Bible.

This song encapsulates the essence of the prayer with a narrative that imagines a community coming together in faith, reflecting the universal appeal and comfort of the Lord's Prayer.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
In a quiet town, where hope felt thin,
A child knelt down, amidst the din,
With hands clasped tight, eyes to the sky,
He began to speak, with a heartfelt sigh:

(Prechorus)
"Father, up in heaven, above,
I've heard of Your unending love,
Your name, so holy, let it shine,
Here on earth, as in Your divine shrine."

(Chorus)
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come, Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven's reign.
Give us today, our daily bread,
Forgive us our debts, as we clear heads.
Lead us not into temptation's sway,
But deliver us from evil, every day.

(Verse 2)
The village gathered, feeling the breeze,
Each one praying under the ancient trees,
They sought His kingdom, His power, His might,
For in His words, they found their light.

(Prechorus)
"Father, up in heaven, above,
We seek Your guidance, Your gentle touch,
Bring forth Your peace, let it be spread,
In our hearts, as You've always said."

(Chorus)
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come, Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven's reign.
Give us today, our daily bread,
Forgive us our debts, as we clear heads.
Lead us not into temptation's sway,
But deliver us from evil, every day.

(Bridge)
And as they prayed, the clouds did part,
A sense of grace, warmed each heart,
"For Yours is the kingdom," they did sing,
"The power, the glory," to the King.

(Outro Chorus)
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come, Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven's domain.
Give us this day, what we need to tread,
Forgive us our sins, as we look ahead.
From evil save us, in Your way,
For Yours is the power, forever, and always.

Here is The Lord's Prayer as it appears in the classic edition of the Amplified Bible:

Matthew 6:9-13

9 Pray, therefore, like this: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name.

10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven (left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have given up resentment against) our debtors.

13 And lead (bring) us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
