The Lord’s Prayer from the Eternal Side of life
(first published in the introduction to Grace and the Grave, a book of funeral meditations)

Our Father,
how good it is to be here with you in heaven.
Your name is so special.
Your kingdom has come.
Your will is finally done by all of us everywhere.
You give us each day our spiritual strength.
We no longer sin against you,
nor against each other.
We know no temptation,
no evil,
no death.
Your kingdom has become our kingdom,
your power our power,
your glory our glory,
forever and forever,
it is so.
