Here’s a song adaptation of the **“Our Father” prayer** with extended phrasing, where some sentences are drawn out for dramatic and musical effect. The lyrics are paired with implied instrumental interludes to create a sense of flow and reverence. This type of structure works well for worship or meditative music.

### **"Our Father (Forever Holy)"**
**[Intro: Instrumental Opening]**

And foorgiiiive… us our trespasses…
Aaaaas weeeee fooorgive… those who trespass… agaaaainst us…
(*Instrumental interlude: strings swell, or guitar plays a reflective melody*)

And eeeever…
Aaaaamen…
(*Instrumental interlude: let the music fully swell with emotion, giving space for reflection or worship*)

**[Outro: Gentle and Reflective]**
Ameeeeen…
(*Stretch this word, soft music fades*)
Ameeeeen…
(*Let the final "Amen" dissolve into silence as the instruments gently fade out*)
