O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing
Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise
CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
O Lord, our great God, all holy, Father most gracious, filled with mercy and steadfast love, we are ashamed and embarrassed to come before you, for we have preferred the ways of this world to your ways. We have rebelled against your wisdom and have invited trouble, we have rejected your fatherly guidance and have gotten lost altogether. Incline your ear to our troubles, hear us as we pour out our sorrows to you. Forgive us, not because of our own righteousness, but because of your great mercy in the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ. It is in his name that we pray, for he is our Savior, and the mediator of the covenant of grace. Amen.
