Hallowed Father
Jeremy Riddle's song "Hallowed Father" is a worshipful prayer of consecration and surrender.

The repeated plea for God's rule and reign to take over reflects a longing for His will to be done in the singer's life. The song also touches on the motivation of God's love and the hope of heaven, as the singer commits to live for the One who has shown truth through love. It is a heartfelt expression of devotion and obedience.
Your praise, Your fame
My goal, my only aim
I've consecrated
Myself as fully Yours
My body, my heart
Are devoted, set apart
For Your purpose
For Your glory evermore
Father, Hallowed be Your name
May Your rule and Your reign
Take over me
For I, I long just to please You
To live my life for You
To do as You will
As each day goes past
I seek to hold, to fully grasp
Why heaven
Has taken hold of me
And this end in sight
Jesus, Your face heaven's light
This prayer
Resounds in every part of me
Oh, and Father, Hallowed be Your name
May Your rule and Your reign
Take over me
Take over
For I, I long just to please You
To live my life for You
To do as You will
With every breath You give
Till my death I will live
For the One
Who has shown me truth by love
Oh, by Your love
Oh, and Father, Hallowed be Your name
May Your rule and Your reign
Take over me
Take me over
For I, I long just to please You
God, You know I do
To live my life for You
To do as You will
To do
To do as You will
