Lent Week 5- Lord's Prayer

Try to memorize the Lord’s Prayer this week. Using hand motions helps us to remember the words.

Our Father which art in heaven
(Lift right arm, then left arm overhead, fingers pointing up– hold.)

Hallowed be thy name,
(Bring arms down, hands on shoulders.) 

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
(Slowly lower both arms to sides.)

Give us this day our daily bread.
(Cup hands in front of body as if holding something.)

Forgive us all our debts,
(Bow head and fold hands as if praying.)

As we forgive our debtors.
(Unfold hands – palms facing away from body – hold arms outstretched, palms down, as if laying hands on someone.)

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
(Hold hands in front of face, palms toward face.)

For Thine is the kingdom
(Arms down, angled slightly out from body, hands open, fingers pointing down.)

The power,
(Make fists with hands, cross arms at chest height by touching wrists.)

And the glory
(Open arms and hands, lift arms overhead.)

Forever and ever.  Amen.
(Sweep right arm across the body to outstretched position, then do the same with the left, then bring hands in and fold as if in prayer.)
