Poem
When we say "Our Father" what do we mean?
How do we know what is unseen?
How can we tell, not seeing a face,
Are we sure that we're here by His Grace?
I thought about all this before I believed,
In my heart I knew God's grace I received.
So I say Our Father at the start of my prayer,
The grace I received tells me that He's there.

"Who art in heaven",In my prayer I say
His peace is mine  when I feel dismay.
I know that I know that God lives in me,
I know he is He is also everywhere.
I rest in peace because I'm in His care.
In my prayer I say Who art in Heaven,
His peace is mine  when my heart feels leaden.
He is living in me yet I can rest in His arms,
My name is forever written on His palms.

"Hallowed be Thy Name", I cry when I pray,
When I give up my thanks every day.
Glory to Him on that heavenly throne,
All honor is His for I am His own.
Hallowed is to be Holy, My God above.
So I cry Holy to The One that I love.

"Thy Kingdom come".
And dwell in me for all to see.
May Your light shine through me,
When I speak of Thee.
As I go about my life this day,
I pray that your light will guide my way.
The Kingdom is for me a quest,
Until I reach it I will not rest.

"Thy Will be done".
Jesus himself before His arrest had begun,
Prayed, Not mine but Thy Will be done.
I say now that as my spirit is weak,
It is Your Will and strength I seek.
As I go about my way in life,
I pray You keep me from all strife.

"On earth as it is in Heaven", we say,
Your Will be ours is how we must pray.
Try hard to be as pure as we can today,
By not spreading gossip along the way.
Helping our brother who may need a hand,
It doesn't take much to make life grand.

"Give us this day our daily bread",
This comes after the Glories have been said.
We are not at our best with nothing to eat,
Our body, mind & spiritual needs we must meet.
So as we arise with each dawn we must pray,
That God infills us with His manna in every way.
Man does not live on bread alone Jesus says,
The very word of God will feed us all our days.

"Forgive us our trespasses", we pray,
We are asking God to clear the way.
Remove the stumbling blocks in our life,
So we can journey without worldly strife.
To be released from this burden is why we ask,
It is how we can make our way an easier task.
