We cry to you, O Lord,
And beg your mercy,
For we are sinners against you.

King exalted,
Savior of all nations,
see how our grieving
lifts our eyes to heaven;
hear us, Redeemer,
as we beg forgiveness.

Might of the Father,
Keystone of God’s temple,
Way of salvation,
Gate to heaven’s glory;
sin has enslaved us;
free your sons from bondage.

We pray you, O God,
throned in strength and splendor,
hear from your kingdom
this, our song of sorrow;
show us your mercy,
pardon our offenses.

Humbly confessing
countless sins committed,
our hearts are broken,
laying bare their secrets;
cleanse us, Redeemer,
boundless in compassion.

Innocent captive,
unresisting victim,
liars denounced you,
sentenced for the guilty;
once you redeemed us:
now renew us, Jesus.
