Our Father

A poem/prayer I wrote inspired by and using quotes from the prayer "Our Father"

Our Father

Our Father 

Who art in heaven

Creator of all

Giver of life

Shine your everlasting light

Down on me

So that I may bask

In your glory 

And proclaim thy name 

Far and wide

Give us this day 

Our daily bread

Let us be thankful

For the food we eat

The clothing we wear

The house we live in

Our friends and family

For all these things

Come from you Lord

For your generosity knows no limits

Forgive us our trespass

And lead us not into temptation

For we are merely human Lord

Prone to temptation and sin

Instill in us the strength to resist Satan

And all his evil minions

And when our time 

On this earth is over

Welcome our fractured souls

Into your heavenly glory

We pray for this

Our Lord Jesus Christ

Amen
