A Bitty Ditty on the Order of Supremacy

 Isn't it nice to know we pray to From Everlasting-to-Everlasting God?!

Last night's before-sleep prayer seemed like a pathetic mish-mash 

of worship, worry, wonder and want,
then I remembered my mother's encouraging words from years ago...
'when you don't know how to pray Jesus gave us a perfect prayer" 

and I murmured these sacred, ancient, ever-relevant words

Matt.6:9-13

After this manner therefore pray ye:
 Our Father which art in heaven, 
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, 
Thy will be done in earth, 
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, 
as we forgive our debtors.
 And lead us not into temptation, 
but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, 
and the glory, 
for ever. 
Amen.

Time is the father of days

And days, the father of years

And years, the father of every day

We hold that disappears

Father in Heaven, pray we

Recognize Thy Deity

For Thou wert Father

Before Time began

And Thou art Father

Forever, Amen
