Hallowed by Jeff H. Ulrich (2008, 2023) - With Excerpts of The Chosen and Passion of The Christ

Hallowed is my prayer song from between the lines of the Lord’s prayer.

==========

In 2008, an outpouring of great meaning came to me from between the lines of the Lord's prayer.

I had opened my Bible to the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13), where Christ taught us the manner in which we should pray. I then poured out my heart to the Lord whose strength and guidance I desperately needed in support of my family.

In those private moments of prayer, I reflected on Christ's sacrifice as well as on the mercies and blessings that He granted me in years past. In the clarity of that devotion, I shed the heavy feeling of my burdens to rely on Him -- the One who extended His hand when I buckled beneath the weight of overwhelm.

Out of such a happy sense of relief in the peace that only God could bring, the words that became the lyrics to this song, titled "Hallowed" (meaning, "made holy"), flowed from my heart.

In the weeks that followed, I often sang Hallowed as I played along with my acoustic guitar. To my great delight, my daughter, who was six at the time, joined me one day with heartfelt enthusiasm. Although she was very young, apparent to me was that she found sorely needed comfort and meaning in Hallowed. She also was struggling and, therefore, in need of the peace and rest that comes only from above.

I have since held Hallowed dear as one given to encourage both me and my daughter with the assuring hope of the everlasting Comforter -- Hallowed be His name.

The Lord is indeed worthy of praise. Over the years, He has been attentive and expressive to me in such timely mysterious ways. I shudder at the thought of where I would now be if God had not been so faithful. I could never deny that, on my journey, He lovingly walked with me and extended His hand. As this song bears such personal meaning to me and my daughter, may it bring revival to your spirit. Persevere in the Lord who gives hope to those who trust in Him.

Lyrics:

~ Introduction ~
Father, In Heaven, Hallowed, be thy name.

~ Verse 1 ~
Jesus, I love you.
Yes Jesus, I always will.
When You were here, even though we aren’t worthy, You took our place.
For our sins You suffered.
Forgave us, no less, even though we denied You.

~ Verse 2 ~
Jesus, You gave Your life.
When darkness fell, You raised Your voice.
The earth trembled.
It was finished.
So went the temple.
Saints long unseen were seen in the city.
No watcher could doubt, God had sent You from glory.
He sent His most Holy.

~ Chorus 1 ~
I want to praise You.
I give You thanks for Your grace.
I ask what I can do for You, O Lord, and my brother.
Thy will be done I pray.

~ Verse 3 ~
Father, I love You.
O Father, I always will.
All of my days, You’ve walked beside me, extending Your hand whenever I stumbled.
You loved me, no less, even when I denied You.

~ Verse 4 ~
Father, You give me life .
With every breath, I want to sing Hallelujah.
Hallelujah!
You give me peace in place of my sorrows.
When I come to You, I can rest in Your glory.
I can rest in Your glory.

~ Chorus 2 ~
I want to praise You.
I give You thanks for Your grace.
I ask what I can do for You, O Lord, and my brother.
Thy will be done I pray, in earth as it is in Heaven.

~ Ending ~
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in Heaven.

{Repeat Chorus 2}
