We come today to the final words of the Lord's Prayer. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

If you are a good Catholic, you know that phrase is not in the original Lord's Prayer. Of course, the Catholics are right. It was really a second century addition. If you are a good Methodist, you cannot receive your daily bread, be forgiven of your sins, and delivered from the evil one without exclaiming, For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Of course, the Methodists are right. So it seems appropriate on Palm Sunday to season our prayers with an act of praise. Will you sing it with me?

FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOREVER. AMEN.

I. FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM. OUR GOD REIGNS.

Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns …
