lyrics

Take care not to do good works to be seen by men
Or you’ll have no reward from your Father
When you give to the needy don’t make a noise about it
As the hypocrites do on the streets

But when you give,
Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret
Will see what in secret you did

When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites
For they love to pray standing on the street
To be seen by men
Truly I say to you, they have their reward

But when you pray, go to your room and close the door
And pray to your Father who
sees what is done in secret
And always listen to your prayers

When you pray don’t make use of the same words again and again
Don’t think you’ll be heard because of your many words
God won’t give you attention ‘cause of the number of your words
But let this be your prayer

Heavenly Father hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come, your will be done
As in heaven, so on Earth
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us and help us to forgive
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from the evil one
For your is the kingdom
For ever amen

When you fast, don’t look somber as the hypocrites
Put oil on your head and make your face clean
So that no one may see that you’re going through
But only to your Father, who is unseen and will see the intention of your heart

Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on Earth
Where it may be turned to dust by worms
Where thieves break in and take everything away
Don’t forget, your treasure is where heart is set down

The eye is the lamp of the body, if then your eye is true
All your body will be full of light
But if your eye is evil
All your body will be dark

No one can serve two masters
Either you’ll hate the one and love the other
You can’t serve both God and money
So I tell you, don’t worry about your life
Can anyone add a single day to your life?
Your Father know what you need before you ask
So just raise your hands and say this prayer
Just raise your hands

Heavenly Father hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come, your will be done
As in heaven, so on Earth
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us and help us to forgive
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from the evil one
For your is the kingdom
For ever amen
