Even Christians who haven’t memorized much Scripture can probably recite The Lord’s Prayer. I purposely said “recite” because actually praying those words can be difficult with the words coming to our minds and mouth automatically.
Jesus didn’t tell His disciples to pray that prayer, but to use it as a guide for their prayers. Can you do that? It’s hard at times, isn’t it?
That’s one reason I often use this song for praying because I didn’t word it exactly the way Jesus did. Even after singing it probably hundreds of times during my morning devotional times, I can usually still focus prayerfully on the words.
Our Father in Heaven, holy is Your name.
May Your kingdom come, may Your will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Lord, give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our wrongs as we forgive.
Lord, turn us back from temptation’s door,
And keep us safe from the Evil One!
Our Father in Heaven, holy is Your name.

Not only have I written over two hundred songs, I’ve also written and published twenty-four Christian novels. One of them is shown below, and the graphic below that contains thumbnails of the covers of all twenty-four.
