Lyrics
Give us this day all that you showed me
Asking for the teachings and lessons presented so far
The power and the glory
Requesting both authority and magnificence
'Til my kingdom comes
Until my personal realm or achievement arrives
Give us this day all that you showed me
Repetition of the desire for guidance and greatness
The power and the glory
Reiteration of seeking power and grandeur
'Til my kingdom comes
Continuing the plea for guidance and greatness
Give me all the storybook told me
Asking for the ideals portrayed in fairy tales
The faith and the glory
Desiring both trust and magnificence
'Til my kingdom comes
Until personal fulfillment or achievement occurs
And they said that in our time
Referring to contemporary predictions
All that's good will fall from grace
Suggesting that all positive things will decline
Even saints would turn their face in our time
Even virtuous individuals will turn away
And they told us that in our days
Continuation of foretelling in the present era
Different words said in different ways
Expressions differ but share a common meaning
Have other meanings from he who says in out time
Interpreting words differently based on the speaker
Give us this day all that you showed me
Repeating the plea for guidance and greatness
The power and the glory
Reiterating the request for authority and magnificence
'Til my kingdom comes
Until personal realm or achievement is attained
Give me all the storybook told me
Seeking the ideals presented in stories
The faith and the glory
Desiring both trust and magnificence again
'Til my kingdom comes
Continuation of the plea for personal fulfillment
And they said that in our time we would reap from their legacy
Referring to the legacy of the past and its benefits
We would learn from what they had seen in our time
Learning from the experiences of those before us
And they told us that in our days
Foretelling knowledge and wisdom in contemporary times
We would know what was high on high
Understanding what is significant and sublime
We would follow and not defy in our time
Following without opposition in the present era
Give us this day all that you showed me
Reiterating the request for teachings and greatness
The faith and the glory
Seeking trust and magnificence once again
'Til my kingdom comes
Until personal fulfillment or achievement
Faithless in faith
Being without faith in faith itself
We must behold the things we see
Observing and acknowledging the visible things
Give us this day all that you showed me
Repeating the plea for teachings and magnificence
The faith and the glory
Desiring trust and greatness once again
'Til my kingdom comes
Until personal fulfillment or achievement occurs
Give us this day all that you showed me
Repetition of the request for guidance and power
The power and the glory
Reiterating the desire for authority and magnificence
'Til my kingdom comes
Until personal realm or achievement arrives
Give me all the storybook told me
Seeking the ideals portrayed in stories once again
The faith and the glory
Desiring both trust and magnificence again
'Til my kingdom comes
Until personal fulfillment or achievement
Give us this day all that you showed me
Repetition of the plea for teachings and greatness
The power and the glory
Requesting both authority and magnificence again
'Til my kingdom comes
Until personal realm or achievement is attained
