What better way to start the new year than listening to KAMB? As we dive into this fresh start together, let’s remember to praise the One who’s given it to us. Our listening family will be pleased to hear familiar hits as well as brand new music from beloved artists. Among the recent additions to our station is The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours) by Matt Maher.
Of the many artists in CCM, Matt Maher is one of the most well-known. His career kicked off in 2008 when he signed with Essential Records, and he’s topped the charts ever since. Like other contemporary artists, much of Maher’s success comes from both singing and songwriting. In addition to his own hits—songs like “Lord I Need You”, “Because He Lives (Amen)”, and “Alive and Breathing”—Maher has also cowritten many other successful songs recorded by fellow artists. Because of his musical brilliance, Maher has received RIAA certifications for several songs, released 10 albums, and has been nominated for both Grammy and Dove awards. Such success demonstrates his talent and sincere faith. Regardless of who sings his songs, every lyric Maher writes points audiences to the Lord through biblical truths. It is with this same dedication that his latest song, The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours), has been written.
Just as its name promises, The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours) is directly inspired by Jesus’ prayer in Matthew 6. Matt Maher masterfully combines a lively melody with some of Jesus’ most famous words to reinforce the Lord’s message. Throughout the four Gospels, Jesus is clear about where our priorities should lie. Rather than leaving us to our own devices, He instructs us to set aside our desires and to obey God’s will. He also demonstrates trust in God’s provision, emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, and directs us towards God’s protection. While Jesus also addresses several other characteristics of faith, these are the ones seen in the Lord’s Prayer.
By creating a song around this prayer, Maher reminds modern audiences that Jesus’ words are just as important today. Instead of using his own words to describe the relationship we should have with the Lord, Maher relies on Jesus’ words themselves. As believers, we are called to live our faith in Him, and The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours) clearly testifies to that message.
Father let Your Kingdom come Father let Your will be done On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart Father let Your Kingdom come Father let Your will be done On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart Give us this day our daily bread Forgive us, forgive us As we forgive the ones who sinned against us Forgive them And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from the evil one Let Your kingdom come Father let Your Kingdom come (Holy, holy) Father let Your will be done On earth as in heaven (Let it be done) Right here in my heart Father let Your Kingdom come (Holy, holy) Father let Your will be done On earth as in heaven (Let it be done) Right here in my heart Give us this day our daily bread Forgive us, forgive us As we forgive the ones who sinned against us Forgive them And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from the evil one Let Your kingdom come It's Yours, it's Yours All Yours, all Yours The kingdom, the power, the glory are Yours It's Yours, it's Yours All Yours, all Yours Forever and ever the kingdom is Yours It's Yours, it's Yours All Yours, all Yours The kingdom, the power, the glory are Yours It's Yours, it's Yours All Yours, all Yours Forever and ever the kingdom is Yours Father let Your Kingdom come (Holy, holy) Father let Your will be done On earth as in heaven (Let it be done) Right here in my heart (Here in my heart) Father let Your Kingdom come (Holy, holy) Father let Your will be done On earth as in heaven (Let it be done) Right here in my heart (Here in my heart) On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart
The New Year season often brings a sense of excitement and renewal into our lives. We make resolutions, we try to start new hobbies, and we plan to break bad habits. A lot of what we set out to do revolves around making smarter choices and becoming “better versions” of ourselves. However, as believers, we need to be mindful of the goals we pursue. There is nothing wrong with wanting to improve our lives, but we will run into trouble if we leave God out of those plans. Instead of trying to strategize our own ideas of what “better” means, we should look to God for His definition. Just as Matt Maher encourages us in The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours), we should look to Scripture for the Lord’s will and direction in our lives. By putting God first and allowing Jesus’ words to echo into our lives, we are sure to find even greater blessings than anything we could discover on our own.
KAMB is so excited to continue ministering to our listening family, and we hope 2023 holds great blessings for everyone.

With the new year comes new music from KAMB favorite artists Matt Maher, Mike Donehey, and Cochren & Co.
Matt Maher’s The Lord’s Prayer [It’s Yours] is a bright, upbeat anthem that calls us to joyfully pray, “Father let your kingdom come, let your will be done,” and commit our hearts see it through on earth as it is in heaven. Watch the official video below.
In Yeshua (Friend of Sinners), Mike Donehey asks, “Who is this God that dares to call my name, who looks in my heart and doesn’t look away, who knows my secrets and loves me anyway, who walks on water and opens up the grave?” It’s another uplifting anthem of hope and encouragement that centers our attention on Jesus, the friend of sinners “whose mercy is a cleansing river, washing over me forever.” Watch the official video here.
Our team carefully selects the music played on KAMB to best represent Christ and our desire to love and follow him. Tanya in Modesto writes KAMB,
“Thank you for the refreshing music on KAMB. It seems every time I listen there’s always a song to not only encourage me but to challenge me to grow in my walk with Jesus.”

Leaning by Matt Maher is an encouragement to us that even though we are in tough times, Jesus tells us that we’re not alone.
“There are times in life where on either side of a difficult season you’re either asking, ‘How am I going to get through this?’ or, you’re on the other side looking back in amazement saying, ‘How did I get through this?’ That’s where I find that the most sincere, real, authentic prayers get prayed.”
Matt Maher
The official live video of Leaning was recorded in Nashville Tennessee on September 30, 2021.
