LYRICS //
Verse 1
Almighty God of mercy, we’ve strayed like wayward sheep
Our hearts inclined to wander, your laws we’ve failed to keep
We’ve chosen sin and darkness, left acts of love undone
There is no health within us: have mercy through your Son

Verse 2
O good and gracious Father, we ask to be made new
Obedient and righteous, to live afresh for you
As we confess our failings, restore our broken lives
According to your promise, in our Lord Jesus Christ

Chorus
Lord, have mercy and forgive us
Christ, have mercy and deliver us
Lord, have mercy and renew us
We ask with full assurance because of your great love
According to your promise have mercy through your Son

Verse 3
Almighty God and Father, you promise to forgive
We turn to you for pardon, we come that we might live
O grant your Holy Spirit to purify our souls
And bring us home to Jesus, our glory and our goal

“Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against thee
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved thee with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of thy Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in thy will,
and walk in thy ways,
to the glory of thy Name. Amen.”
(Prayer of Confession from the Book of Common Prayer)

Soli Deo Gloria! 💖

Thank you for such a sweet sounding song of repentance, the melody and harmonies are so soothing and I pray our Father is pleased as we (I'm joining in the harmonies) sing of His Son, our Saviour.

Your songs have never failed to point me to Christ 😭

So beautiful, thank you! Love listen you. Can I ask you please to sing one kids himn " If I come to Jesus". I didn't find on internet any good version. Thanks in advance. God bless you! Greetings from UK.

Is that using a vocal harmonizer pedal?
