lyrics
As we start I wanna proclaim that "Our help is in the name of the Lord"
"My brothers, let each of you present himself before the face of the Lord, and confess his faults and sins, following my words in his heart":
O Lord God,
Eternal and Almighty Father, we confess and acknowledge
truly before Your grandeur holiness that we are poor
sinners by nature from the moment we're conceived and born,
iniquitous and prone to evil incapable of any good,
and that in our depravity we contravene Your precepts
with foolish daringness rebel without ceasing; therefore,
through Your righteous judgement we purchase for
ourselves our ruin and damnation on top of it all.
Nevertheless, O Lord, we grieve that we've offended You;
we condemn ourselves and our sins with repentance that is true;
begging Your mercy to relieve our distress;
O God and Father most gracious give us compassion at its full measure.
Have mercy on us in the name of Your Son
our Lord Jesus Christ through Whom we receive our cure;
and as You blot out our sin and stains magnify and increase in us every day
the grace of the Holy Spirit to give us fuel;
that as we acknowledge our wickedness with all our heart;
we be moved by our sorrow and confessing our sin depart from it;
bringing forth true repentance producing in us the fruit
of righteousness and innocence that are pleasing to You
through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let's begin…
