[Intro - Gentle acoustic guitar, warm] [Verse 1 - The Introduction] What is the Introduction? Our Father who art in heaven What does this mean? What is the Introduction? Our Father who art in heaven What does this mean? With these words God tenderly invites us To believe that He is our true Father And that we are His true children So that with all boldness and confidence We may ask Him As dear children ask their dear father [Chorus - Our Father] Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be Thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven [Verse 2 - The First Petition] What is the First Petition? Hallowed be Thy name What does this mean? God's name is certainly holy in itself But we pray in this petition That it may be kept holy among us also How is God's name kept holy? God's name is kept holy When the Word of God is taught in its truth and purity And we, as the children of God Also lead holy lyvez according to it Help us to do this, dear Father in heaven! But anyone who teaches or livz contrary to God's Word Profanes the name of God among us Protect us from this, heavenly Father! [Verse 3 - The Second Petition] What is the Second Petition? Thy kingdom come What does this mean? The kingdom of God certainly comes by itself without our prayer But we pray in this petition That it may come to us also How does God's kingdom come? God's kingdom comes When our heavenly Father gives us His Holy Spirit So that by His grace we believe His holy Word And lead godly lyvez here in time and there in eternity [Chorus - Our Father] Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be Thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven [Bridge - The Third Petition, tender] What is the Third Petition? Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven What does this mean? The good and gracious will of God is done even without our prayer But we pray in this petition That it may be done among us also How is God's will done? God's will is done when He breaks and hinders Every evil plan and purpose of the devil, the world, and our sinful nature Which do not want us to hallow God's name or let His kingdom come And when He strengthens and keeps us firm in His Word and faith until we die This is His good and gracious will [Final Chorus - Warm, full band] Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be Thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done [Outro - Acoustic guitar fading]
