There is something profoundly powerful about singing the Lord’s Prayer. Even those of us who feel like we can’t hold a tune in a bucket, still feel our souls surge the second we hear someone start singing the Lord’s Prayer. Every fiber of our being joins in the melody and enters the music. I wonder, what is different when you sing the Lord’s Prayer? How does adding music to the word open new insights for you?
This week I want to share
several musical settings of the Lord’s Prayer.
The first is Gregorian Chant which dates to the 9th
Century. I invite you to listen several
times to this version. You may want to
have a blank piece of paper available to draw or sketch or write down what
hearing the Lord’s Prayer this way stirs within you.
I pray that this version of the Lord’s Prayer opens you to a new experience and stirs your spirit. Feel free to share with others in the comment section so we can remember that we are praying these words together, connected by the Creator in this holy experience and experiment this month.
Prayer: God open my ears
and heart to hear this prayer anew today.
Amen.
