Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Out of the water, out of the night,

I rise with a borrowed breath.

No longer bound to the dust below,

No longer marked by death.

I speak a name I could not claim

Before the light broke through—

Not distant throne, not hidden fire,

But Father calling me too.

[Pre-Chorus]

Not fear, not silence,

Not a stranger’s door—

I stand as one reborn.

[Chorus]

Our Father,

High above, yet nearer than my breath.

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

Here in this fragile flesh.

Give us the bread that does not fade,

Forgive what we became—

Lead us through the trial of night,

Deliver us by name.

[Verse 2]

Daily hunger, daily need,

But not for dust alone—

A living bread, a deeper fire,

A life no grave has known.

I learned this prayer beside the font,

Where mercy learned my face,

Where every debt was washed away

By undeserved grace.

[Pre-Chorus]

I do not ask as one outside,

But as a child who knows—

[Chorus]

Our Father,

High above, yet nearer than my breath.

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

Here in this fragile flesh.

Give us the bread that does not fade,

Forgive what we became—

Lead us through the trial of night,

Deliver us by name.

[Bridge]

Not from stone, but from the table,

Not from fear, but from the Son—

Every word a mark of promise:

You have made us one.

If You clothe the fields with glory,

If You hear the smallest cry,

How much more will You sustain us

As we walk this newborn life?

[Final Chorus]

Our Father,

Let Your mercy shape our days.

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

In love that never strays.

We are not lost, we are not alone,

We speak because we’re known—

Our Father,

Hear the voice of those

You’ve claimed as Your own.

[Outro]

Our Father…

Song Meaning

“Our Father (Piano Sessions Version)” presents the Lord’s Prayer as the speech of someone newly brought from the font into God’s household. Ambrose teaches the baptized that the forgiven sinner has become a good son and may now address God as Father. The song develops that adoption through images of borrowed breath, washed debt, daily hunger, and a voice that speaks because it is already known. Its request for daily bread carries Ambrose’s Eucharistic reading: Christ is the living nourishment needed not once but continually, medicine for the wounded and life for those who must rise each day. The piano setting makes the prayer intimate without making it private. “Our,” not merely “my,” preserves the communal identity of the baptized. The arrangement’s quietness allows each petition to sound newly learned, as if the singer were discovering that divine nearness, forgiveness, provision, and deliverance can all be asked for in the language Christ has given.

Song Inspiration

Ambrose’s De Sacramentis Book 5, chapter 4, sections 18–26, interpreting the Lord’s Prayer as the prayer of adopted children and daily bread as enduring Eucharistic life.
