Many people find peace and meaning in prayer. Don Moen’s song “Our Father” puts the Lord’s Prayer, a central prayer in Christianity, to beautiful music. This makes it a great choice for anyone wanting to connect with their faith through music.
The song starts with a simple plea: “Hear our prayer.” Moen sings about gathering together and needing God’s mercy and grace. The lyrics then move into the Lord’s Prayer itself, asking God to be hallowed (treated with holiness) and his will to be done. The song circles back to the plea for forgiveness, reminding listeners that seeking forgiveness is a natural part of prayer.
“Our Father” is a simple song, but it’s powerful in its message. By combining familiar words with calming music, it creates a space for reflection and connection with God. This makes it a popular choice for both personal prayer and group worship.

Our Father Lyrics by Don Moen
Verse 1
Hear our prayer
We are Your children
And we’ve gathered here today
We’ve gathered here to pray
Hear our cry (O Lord)
We need Your mercy
And we need Your grace today
Hear us as we pray
Chorus
Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Our Father
Hear us from Heaven
Forgive our sins we pray
Verse 2
Hear our song
As it rises to Heaven
May Your glory fill the earth
As the waters cover the sea
See our hearts
And remove anything
That is standing in the way
Of coming to You today
Bridge
Though we are few
We’re surrounded by many
Who have crossed that river before
And this is the song
We’ll be singing forever
Holy is the Lord holy is the Lord
Holy is the Lord holy is the Lord
Holy is the Lord holy is the Lord
Holy is the Lord holy is the Lord
