2Lord Jesus Christ, we acknowledge your constant
mercy, your loving kindness to us all. We are
conscious of our sin, we confess our compromises,
our errors and our failures before you.
3We ask you to forgive us to wipe away our sin,
remove our feelings of guilt and resolve the
alienation between ourselves and you. We are not
right in ourselves, nor with others we are not
right with you. Help us to restore these broken
relationships.
4We have done what we should not have done we
have left undone things we should have done. We
have no excuse. Forgive us when we try to excuse
what we have been. We sometimes convince
ourselves we are innocent. What we are, Lord, is
open to you. We are sorry.
5Forgive us. Restore us to the joy of your
salvation. Put a new and loyal spirit within us,
so that we may serve you without compromise,
without holding anything back.
