[Intro - Warm acoustic guitar] [Verse 1 - The Fourth Petition] What is the Fourth Petition? Give us this day our daily bread What does this mean? God certainly gives daily bread to everyone without our prayers Even to all evil people But we pray in this petition That God would lead us to realize this And to receive our daily bread with thanksgiving What is meant by daily bread? Daily bread includes everything that has to do with the support and needs of the body Such as food, drink, clothing, shoes, house, home, land, animals, money, goods A devout husband or wife, devout children, devout workers Devout and faithful rulers, good government, good weather Peace, health, self-control, good reputation Good friends, faithful neighbors, and the like [Chorus - Daily bread] Give us this day Our daily bread Food and drink and house and home Give us this day Our daily bread [Verse 2 - The Fifth Petition] What is the Fifth Petition? And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us What does this mean? We pray in this petition that our Father in heaven Would not look at our sins Or deny our prayer because of them We are neither worthy of the things for which we pray Nor have we deserved them But we ask that He would give them all to us by grace For we daily sin much And surely deserve nothing but punishment So we too will sincerely forgive And gladly do good to those who sin against us [Chorus - Daily bread] Give us this day Our daily bread Food and drink and house and home Give us this day Our daily bread [Verse 3 - The Sixth Petition] What is the Sixth Petition? And lead us not into temptation What does this mean? God tempts no one We pray in this petition that God would guard and keep us So that the devil, the world, and our sinful nature May not deceive us or mislead us Into false belief, despair, and other great shame and vice Although we are attacked by these things We pray that we may finally overcome them And win the victory [Final Chorus - Warm, full band, tender] Give us this day Our daily bread Forgive us our trespasses Lead us not into temptation [Outro - Acoustic guitar fading]
