You are our Father, you live in heaven
We talk to you Father you are good
You are our Father, you live in heaven
We talk to you Father you are good

We believe your word, Father
We are your children, give us bread today
We believe your word, Father
We are your children, give us bread today

We have done wrong, we are sorry
Help us Father not to sin again
We have done wrong, we are sorry
Help us Father not to sin again

Others have done wrong to us and we are
Sorry for them Father today
Others have done wrong to us and we are
Sorry for them Father today

Stop us from doing wrong, Father
Save us all from the evil one
Stop us from doing wrong, Father
Save us all from the evil one

Yours is the Kingdom, the power and the glory
Now and forever. Amen
Yours is the Kingdom, the power and the glory
Now and forever. Amen
