Thy Kingdom Come

by Various (Liturgical)

Theology & Meaning

A worship song-prayer built on the Lord's Prayer's central petition—'Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.' Used widely in the global Thy Kingdom Come prayer movement (initiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury), this prayer commits worshipers to partnership in God's redemptive mission.

Worship Leadership Tips

Excellent for prayer-focused services, Ascension-season worship, or any service connecting Sunday worship to Monday witness. The Lord's Prayer framework makes it immediately accessible. Works as a congregational prayer or a song of commissioning.

Arrangement Tips

Simple, prayer-like arrangement. Piano or acoustic guitar. The melody should support the text rather than dominate it. Light pads create an atmosphere of prayer. Can be sung antiphonally—leader sings a phrase, congregation responds. Allow extended moments of silence.
