‘The Lord’s Prayer It’s Yours’ Matt Maher And TAYA Official Music Video - Christian Music Videos

Two gifted Christian musicians – Matt Maher and TAYA - turned the Lord’s Prayer into a beautiful and catchy song.

God’s Word is essentially the instruction manual for life. The Bible contains lessons and words of wisdom for any situation or circumstance one may face over the course of a lifetime. The verses, chapters and books found in the Bible are still as useful and relevant today as ever. 

The Bible has several passages and pieces of Scripture that are recited and memorized by many. John 3:16, Philippians 4:13 and 1 Corinthians chapter 13 are just a few of the verses and chapters that fit neatly into that category. 

Another of those often-quoted passages of Scripture includes Jesus’ instructions to his disciples on how and what to pray for in the book of Matthew. Commonly, this passage is referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. 

In the official video for the song “The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours),” Matt and Taya beautifully sing those instructions and that prayer from Jesus while recording the tune in a studio. The song's verses and chorus ingeniously incorporate Christ's instructions to His 12 disciples in the New Testament book. 

“Give us this day, our daily bread, forgive us, forgive us
As we forgive the ones who sinned against us, forgive them
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us
From the evil one”

What a simple but effective idea for a song. The song’s lyrics and the message contained in those words are one that can easily be applied to all. Everyone can be reminded of Christ’s comments on the proper way to talk to and communicate with God. No matter how well one is familiar with the Lord’s Prayer, hearing the words of Christ repeated can only benefit those who hear them. 

Matthew 6:7-8 “In praying don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. Therefore, don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask them.”
