A SELFISH MAN'S VERSION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER


A SELFISH MAN'S VERSION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER

While our lips utter the Lord’s Prayer, our hearts often say another.
It goes something like this:

My servant, Who art in heaven,
Hollow is Thy name.
My own kingdom come; my own will be done,
On earth, and later in heaven.
Give me this day--gimme, gimme, gimme.
And forgive me my trespasses,
But don’t expect me to forgive others.
Bail me out when I give in to temptation,
And deliver me from the consequences of sin,
For in my kingdom I will wield power,
And expect glory forever.  A man.


From the gospel according to Becky Wall
The Queen James Version
(Based on Matt. 6:9-13 KJV)
