1 Kind and merciful God, we have sinned in your sight,
we have all wandered far from your way;
we have followed desire, we have failed to spire
to the virtue we ought to display.
2 Kind and merciful God, we've neglected your Word
3 Kind and merciful God, we have broken your laws
4 Kind and merciful God, in Christ's death on the cross
5 Kind and merciful God, bid us lift up our heads
