Tamar: Her Lord's Prayer
by John M. Davis



__ . . . am I my brother's keeper?
__ __ __ Genesis 4:9

My father whose art is cunning,
Hollow be thy name,

Thy kingdom's come
__ I'll be undone,
On earth, in the house of David.

You'll give me this day
As daily bread
__ And forgive him his sins

As I'll forgive those
Who'll sin against him.

Lead me not
Into his temptation,
But deliver me from evil:

For the kingdon of heaven
__ a woman's leaven,

Not for the power,
Not for the glory,
Never, ever . . .

Ah men
