"The Lord's Prayer" - my version

If I ever get to lead morning prayer in the Austin Seminary Chapel again, these are the words I think I might use:

Our Heavenly Parent,
blessed be your many names.
We forge your community,
we follow your will,
a Kingdom of Heaven right here
in our daily lives.
Heal today our broken-ness,
that we may help to heal  
the broken-ness that is around us
And fulfill our basic needs,
that we may better serve those
whose needs are not being met
Help us resist our selfishness,
and protect us from harm,
For you are the source of all blessing and power,
now and forever,
Amen
