Our Father living in heaven Holy is Your name
Your Son was mocked, beaten, crucified but from the cross He proclaimed
“It’s finished. It’s done.” I took the pain and wrath so you could live without shame
Now centuries later not much had changed. If Jesus walked the earth today His message would be the same
Living on this sphere is hard, we ask You to bring heaven here
No hurting, no sorrow, no tears, no sickness, no death on the day You appear
You conquered it all already so we have nothing to fear
Even though we get laughed at and jeered, some people can’t say Your name without a sneer
We ask You to provide our daily bread
Not just for our bellies because our souls get hungry too and need to be fed
Some people only talk to you when they’re in trouble but a relationship is what You want instead
Remind me all the time that for me You bled
Forgive us for the sin we commit
We owed You so much, up to our necks in debt
Everyday we stumble and hit face first to the dirt our heads heavy with regret
But You paid the price so we could get up again, let us never forget
Please keep my feet on the narrow way
It’s so easy to follow the crowd and stray
Day after day of trials and temptations cause the end of the rope to fray
But because You’re my life and breath I know You’ll help me when I sway
All of creation belongs to You
The universe itself screams the truth
Doubters and seeks are looking through the telescope lens to study the sky roof
They need to repent because You keep us fireproof
