The Prayer of Repentance

Verse 1: Oh, Lord Almighty, God of our fathers, You created heaven and earth, with all its adornment Bound the sea with your word of command And closed the abyss, sealing it with your fearful and glorious name Chorus: You are the Lord of the just, compassionate and longsuffering Merciful and gracious, slow to anger and rich in lovingkindness For thou art God, the God of the repenting And in me, thou wilt show all thy benevolence Verse 2: I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned And I acknowledge my transgressions I have multiplied my iniquities And I am not worthy to look at or see the height of heaven Chorus: You are the Lord of the just, compassionate and longsuffering Merciful and gracious, slow to anger and rich in lovingkindness For thou art God, the God of the repenting And in me, thou wilt show all thy benevolence Bridge: I will praise thee continually, all the days of my life For all the hosts of the heavens sing to thee And thine is the glory forever and ever Amen Amen (Instrumental outro.)
