Here’s a poem structured as a series of quatrains, each corresponding to a phrase from the Lord’s Prayer (based on the traditional version from Matthew 6:9-13 in the Christian Bible: “Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven, Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us, And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil”). I’ll assume the concluding doxology (“For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever”) is included, as it’s often part of liturgical use. Each quatrain reflects on its respective phrase with a consistent rhyme scheme (ABAB) for unity.

Our Father, which art in heaven,

Above the earth, enthroned in light,
Thy love descends to hearts bereaven,
A Father’s care through endless night.

Hallowed be thy Name,

Thy title echoes, pure and grand,
No tongue can sully sacred fame,
Revered by souls in every land.

Thy kingdom come,

We plead for peace, thy reign to see,
A world where strife at last is numb,
And all bow down in unity.

Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven,

Thy purpose bends both time and space,
On soil and sky thy law is given,
To mirror heaven’s holy grace.

Give us this day our daily bread,

Each morn thy bounty freely flows,
By thee our hungry souls are fed,
Sustained through all life’s joys and woes.

And forgive us our trespasses,

Our sins, like chains, we cast to thee,
Thy mercy heals where guilt amasses,
And sets the burdened spirit free.

As we forgive them that trespass against us,

As thou dost pardon, so must we,
Release the debts that once oppress us,
In love’s forgiving liberty.

And lead us not into temptation,

Guard us from paths where shadows lure,
Thy hand prevents our soul’s frustration,
And keeps our wandering steps secure.

But deliver us from evil,

From darkness deep, thy power saves,
Against the foe, thy strength is civil,
Redeeming us from sin’s dark waves.

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,

All realms, all might, all praise is thine,
Eternal song of sacred story,
Forever shines thy reign divine.

Forever and ever,

Beyond the stars, thy will holds sway,
Time’s end shall bind thee never,
Eternal Lord of endless day.
