Our Father Chapter One
"Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done
in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
The two sisters Mary and Elisabeth said
the Lord's prayer every night. On their
knees, in unison, in the room of their father
and pastor Zechariah Love Israel as he
watched. "Very good Mary and Elisabeth.
Now get the Bible and read a verse". The
oldest sister Mary got the Bible off the
nightstand and turned to Genesis chapter
six. "And it came to pass when men
began to multiply on the face of the earth,
and daughters were born unto them, that
the sons of God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair; and they took them
wives of all which they chose". Raising
his hand for Mary to stop reading.
Zechariah walked over and took the Bible
out of her hand. He then had the two
sisters turn towards each other and
undress each other. "Daddy please not
tonight. Elisabeth and I don't feel well".
"Now Mary you both know the Lord God
will heal you through me". The crimes and
acts that Zechariah commited that night
was unspeakable. Ever morning Mary and
Elisabeth would try to scrub the betrayal
of their father off their flesh. "Our dead
mother must be crying her eyes out in
heaven" Elisabeth said to Mary as they got
ready for church.
