Meaning & Inspiration

This short prayer song takes its wording from the Lord's Prayer, repeating "Let thy will be done" as its central plea. The line "On earth as it is" leads into "Done right in heaven", which follows Matthew 6:9-10, where Jesus teaches that God's will and kingdom are to be sought on earth as in heaven. The word "thy" gives the opening a familiar liturgical tone.

A second refrain moves from submission to expectation: "May your light break forth" and "May your light abolish" every darkness around. It draws on the biblical contrast between light and darkness found in John 1:5, where the light shines and the darkness does not overcome it. A closing section combines both thoughts with "May your kingdom come." The song is structured as repeated congregational petitions rather than a narrative, and its focus is surrender to God's will and the hope of His kingdom being visible in the world.
