       .................................................................

       Our Father who is EVERYWHERE
       Your name is sacred.
       Your kingdom IS COME.
       Your will IS THROUGHOUT the earth
       even as it is throughout the UNIVERSE
       You give us our needful bread
       from day to day,
       and YOU FORGIVE US our offences
       even as we forgive our offenders.
       And you let us not enter into
       MATERIALISM.
       But YOU SEPARATE US FROM ERROR.
       Because YOURS ARE THE KINGDOM,the
       power and the song and praise.
       from all ages, throughout all ages.
       (Sealed) in faith,trust and truth.

       The caps are mine, not from the text I was given!
       If this is a "valid and well translated" text from the originals,
       it certainly has "different "flavor" than the lord's prayer
       I was taught in sunday school and church when I was younger and
       that I taught to the little ones when I was teaching sunday school.

       I will try to find out how to get THE COMPLETE BOOK and post about it.
