I would simply fill the space between the barline and the first note with
invisible rests.

You can use any markup, even \markup \null. 

% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
#(ly:set-option 'relative-includes #t)
\version "2.19.53"
\language "english"

global = { \key g \major }

music = {
  a'4 g'2 g'4 g' f-sharp' e' g' \bar "|"
  \cadenzaOn \hide r8 \hide r8 \cadenzaOff
  g' f-sharp'( g') e' f-sharp' g' \bar ":|."
}

words = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = \markup "℣." \markup \null __ _ we pray to the Lord.
  \set stanza = \markup "℟." O Lord, hear our prayer.
}

\new Staff
<<
  \new Voice = "mel" { \global \music }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" { \words }
>>
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cheers, 
Klaus
