The simple fact is when the Lord's Prayer is sung it is incomplete without the thrilling doxology "For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory forever. AMEN! Just the thought moves me to tears.
You're so right. I can never hear or sing the building crescendo of the last sentence without choking up. I've tried many times. It's just not possible. It always seems to bring my thoughts to my dad and his voice as he sang that verse in church and I just dissolve. I must look ridiculous.

Well, I'm in tears, my throat hurts, at this very moment. My cat and the Lord are my only witnesses. Neither will call me a crybaby. :)

I can readily understand that.
Didn’t have the Dad aspect . . . but the indentification with HIS KINGDOM COMING . . . is SUCH a BLESSED HOPE . . . tears are quite fittingly, endearingly automatic quite often.
