The Lord's Prayer Translated From Amharic (Acapella)

Amharic is one of the most ancient existing languages of our planet. At the birth of what we now call "Christianity" Amharic Scribes wrote poetic and dynamic verse detailing the many wonders of God's grace and glory. I decided to learn the Lord's Prayer as those Amharic Scribes wrote it hundreds of years ago, and share it with you, beloved listener. A beautifully written and recited work of spirit. Please, enjoy this version spoken by Khalfani Now, listen along and recite as-well!

O Eternal Spirit,

In the hurts we absorb from one another,

Forgive us.

In times of temptation and test,

Strengthen us.

From trial too great to endure,

Spare us.

From the grip of all that is evil,

Free us.

For Your reign in the glory of the power that is love,

Now and forever.

And for this,
