Our Father......'The Lord's Prayer'

Our Father's Prayer, otherwise known as 'The Lord's Prayer Hymn' is a prayer that may transgress one's mind to reflect on their very own life, especially sung in an upbeat meaningful way. In our world today, we seem to have a growing number of agnostics and atheists, around. The world was not just created out of nothing without a Superbeing creating it and I have every belief that simply God created the universe and other universes (if there is any) and we know how our world started in the beginning through the book of Genesis here. This book was written by Moses. I suppose this may have surprised you as it did me - I never asked who the author was and the meaning of Genesis is 'In the beginning....', which is how the Book commences.

There had to be a beginning. A beginning for us as humans and a  beginning for creating our beautiful world. And yet God had done that.

This is obviously for many reasons: from the way a person has been treated by others in a religion, by who they were previously involved with or mixing with the non-believing peer groups within their own lives, or for many other reasons.

Anyway for everyone, this post is for you:

The Lord's prayer comes from the Gospel of Matthew with a shorter version of The Gospel of Luke. So who wrote the Book of Matthew.

It has been traditionally attributed to St Matthew, one of the 12 Apostles, a former Tax Collector.

Here is Chris Brunelle's version


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 trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. 

And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
