Our Father (LIVE) - Bethel Music & Jenn Johnson | For the Sake of the World
Meaning & Inspiration
"Our Father," as performed by Brian and Jenn Johnson from Bethel Music's 2012 album "For the Sake of the World," is a profound devotional that centers on the core petition of Jesus' model prayer, found in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. The song directly echoes the familiarity and yearning inherent in this sacred text, calling for the divine presence and will to be established here on earth, just as it is in the celestial realm. The power of this worship piece lies in its unwavering focus on the Kingdom of God, transforming a familiar prayer into a vibrant declaration of faith and hope. It’s not just a recollection of words; it’s an active invocation, a plea that Heaven’s order, peace, and righteousness permeate our earthly existence. This aligns perfectly with Jesus’ teachings throughout the Gospels, particularly His emphasis on the Kingdom of God being at hand (Mark 1:15) and His instruction to seek first that Kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). The repetition of "Your will be done" underscores a surrendered heart, a willingness to align one's own desires with God's perfect plan, reflecting the spirit of submission seen in Jesus’ own prayer in Gethsemane, "not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). The latter part of the song, with its potent declaration, "Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the power, Yours is the glory forever, amen," serves as a powerful affirmation of God’s sovereignty and ultimate authority, mirroring the doxology that often concludes the Lord's Prayer in many traditions and found echoed in biblical passages like 1 Chronicles 29:11. This is a song that doesn't just ask for something; it declares the unchanging truth of God's reign and invites listeners to participate in that reality through their worship and expectation.
