(Introduction)
In kneeling position, fold hands in prayer and bow heads.

Our Father
Raise eyes upward.

Which art in Heaven
Raise arms straight upward, separating them on the word “heaven.”

Hallowed be Thy Name
Bring hands before face, then bend forward in a low bow with arms extended forward.

Thy Kingdom come
Rise to a straight kneeling position – arms open wide with the desire to clasp humanity close.

Thy Will be done
On the word “Will” lift left knee so that by the end of the phrase you will be standing and bring arms in to enclose humanity.

On earth
Eyes upward, arms downward

As it is in Heaven
(People in back rise) Eyes upward. Circle arms upward and down.

Give us this day our daily bread
Cup hand in raised position as if to receive, taking three steps forward.

And forgive us our debts
Cross arms on breast – look upward

As we forgive our debtors
Uncross arms to the side – look downward, taking two steps backward.

And lead us not into temptation
Take one step to the right, arms to the left as if pushing away

But deliver us from evil
Arms move from left position to a strong reaching upward to the right.

For Thine
Arms stretched wide open.

Is the Kingdom and the
Arms raised by degrees

power and the glory Forever
Arms circle down and cross in front

Amen
Arms gradually lower until four counts after the music has completely stopped. Head is bowed.
