WHEN YOU PRAY…(LUKE 11:1-13)





WHEN YOU PRAY

SAY

OUR FATHER

MOTHER

KEEPER OF THE DAWN

GATE OPENER FOR THE SUN

HE WHO WALKS BEFORE THE DAY BEGINS

HE WHO WATCHES THROUGH THE NIGHT

HE WHO DWELLS IN OUR HOME

FATHER

MOTHER

EVER THERE



TO WHOM OR WHAT

CAN WE GIVE GLORY

CAN ANYTHING WE DO

ADD TO YOU

YOU ARE SELF CONTAINED

WITHIN YOURSELF

BUT IN A SPECIAL WAY

YOU ARE INCOMPLETE

WITHOUT US

SO TO YOUR COMPLETENESS

WE ADD OUR LOVE

AND WE SING

HOLY HOLY HOLY

IS YOUR NAME



SHOW YOUR POWER

AND ESTABLISH YOUR KINGDOM

SHOW YOUR POWER

AND ESTABLISH YOUR WILL

BUT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE

FOR IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS

THE MEANS TO ESTABLISH YOUR KINGDOM

THE MEANS TO ESTABLISH YOUR WILL

ON EARTH

AS IT IS IN HEAVEN



GIVE US TODAY

FOOD FOR TODAY

MINDFUL OF OTHER'S NEEDS

MINDFUL THAT EVERYMAN

IS OUR BROTHER

MINDFUL THAT FOOD STORED

MAY NOT LAST

MINDFUL THAT WE SHOULD SHARE OUR SURPLUS

THAT WE SHOULD TRUST YOU FOR TOMORROW

GIVE US TODAY

OUR DAILY BREAD



DO NOT PUT US TO THE TEST

FOR OFTEN WE HAVE FAILED THE TEST

LIKE MOSES WE TAP THE ROCK TWICE

UNLIKE MOSES WE TAPPED IT MORE THAN TWICE

WHEN WE REMEMBERED TO TAP IT AT ALL

UNLIKE JOB

WE OFTEN CURSE

AND QUESTION

LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION



BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL

BUT ALSO WHERE WE FIND EVIL

LET US RESIST IT

FOLLOWING THE DICTATES

WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS



TO ALL THE ABOVE

WE SAY AMEN
