Meaning & Inspiration
On Earth As It Is In Heaven is a prayer built on the Lord's Prayer. The opening confesses a longing in the heart for God and nothing wanted more, with a humble bow, surrender of all and a request that He do what He wants. The refrain asks for His kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as in heaven, with a promise to follow wherever He leads and a request to be filled and sent out.
The closing section lifts praise to God the Father, saying all the honor belongs to Him, and repeats the kingdom prayer. The language comes from Matthew 6:10, with Isaiah 6:8 on being sent, Romans 12:1 on surrender, 1 Chronicles 29:11 on glory and honor, and Acts 1:8 on being filled for witness. The repeated refrain turns the Lord's Prayer into a simple song for a congregation, and its tone is humble and expectant.
