As It Is In Heaven
Michael W. Smith · I'll Lead You Home [1995]
Hallowed be thy name
Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy name
Our Father, which art in Heaven
Our Father
Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors
Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us, deliver us from evil
For Thine is the Kingdom, and all the power
And the glory
Forever Amen
Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
