God's name so imposing it should not be spoken,
Devout men were incensed God was not being respected
God's laws so commanding were being broken,
When he came along, who called God his father.
Tutoring others to call God their "Father."
When you pray, your words should be, "Our Father in heaven,"
Saying, "your name is holy, may your kingdom come."
Such a prayer can be offered seven days out of seven,
That on earth as in heaven God's will shall be done.
With no disrespect, but full recognition,
You may come to God without inhibition.
