The Lord's Prayer
A Divine Journey: Unveiling the Profound Meaning of Andrea Bocelli's The Lord's Prayer
Lyrics
Our Father
Acknowledging God as the Father.
Which art in heaven
Recognizing God's divine presence in heaven.
Hallowed be Thy name
Expressing reverence for the sacred nature of God's name.
Our Father
Reiteration of God as the Father.
Which art in heaven
Reaffirming God's heavenly existence.
Hallowed be Thy name
Repeating the reverence for God's holy name.
Thy kingdom come
Praying for the arrival of God's kingdom.
Thy will be done
Seeking alignment with God's will on Earth.
On Earth
Desiring God's will on Earth to mirror the heavenly order.
As it is in heaven
Expressing the wish for daily sustenance.
Give us this day
Asking for the provision of daily bread.
Our daily bread
Seeking forgiveness for personal sins or debts.
And forgive us our debts
Pledging to forgive others as a condition for personal forgiveness.
As we forgive our debtors
Requesting guidance to avoid temptation.
And lead us not into temptation
Praying to be rescued from evil.
But deliver us
(Blank line, no specific meaning provided.)
From evil
Seeking protection from evil forces.
For Thine is the kingdom
Acknowledging God's eternal sovereignty over the kingdom.
And the power
Recognizing God's power and authority.
And the glory
Admiring the glory of God.
For ever
Acknowledging the everlasting nature of God's attributes.
For Thine is the kingdom
(Repetition of acknowledgment of God's eternal kingdom.)
And the power
(Repetition of recognition of God's power.)
And the glory
(Repetition of admiration for God's glory.)
For ever
(Repetition of acknowledging the everlasting nature of God's attributes.)
Amen
Concluding with the traditional affirmation, "Amen."
