Confession

We cry for mercy

Come to our relief

We cry for mercy

Come and heal our grief.

We spread out our hands

Souls like a parched land

Show us the way to go

To you we lift our souls.

In your kindness is forgiveness.

In your cleansing, purity

In confession we find righteousness

And a faithful and justÝ walk for all to see.

Do not profane his presence

Come to worship in holiness

In purity we enter in.

In humility we confess our sin.

And there is but one place of washing

One brazen laver that purifies

Here where we confess our iniquity

Covered by the blood of the lamb we arise.

Covered by the blood of the lamb sin dies.

In your kindness is forgiveness.

In your cleansing, purity

In confession we find righteousness

And a faithful and justÝ walk for all to see.
