Transformation
of the Lord’s Prayer 

God, dear father,
we honour you.
We seek to be ruled by you.
We seek to explore your will.

Give us what we need daily.
Forgive where we have failed
and made mistakes.
We want to do likewise
to our fellow humans

Don’t lead us into situations
where we may fail.
Free us from all
that keeps us far away from you. 

You are the one who deserves all praise
In Heaven and on Earth
