Forgive Us (Our Confession)

We've loved when it's been easy.

We've lived the way we want.

We've claimed to represent

The Kingdom of the Lord.

We've offered good intentions.

We've slept when called to prayer.

And when it really mattered

We simply were not there.

Much has been expected,

'Cause there's so much we've received.

Forgive us. Forgive us.

We confess we have not lived like Jesus.

Forgive us. (Hm.)

His Word is all around us,

Yet we're starved for daily bread.

We've delegated worship and

Sung our songs instead.

Much has been expected,

'Cause there's so much we've received.

Forgive us. Forgive us.

We confess we have not lived like Jesus.

Forgive us. Forgive us.

We confess we have not lived like Jesus.

Forgive us. (Oh.)

He's everything we'd hope to be.

He's faithful, good, and kind.

He's slow to anger, rich in love,

He's the wisdom of the Wise.

He's Father to the Fatherless,

The Light that ever shines,

The home for every prodigal,

The reason we're alive.

You're everything we'd hope to be.

You're faithful, good, and kind.

You're slow to anger, rich in love,

You're the wisdom of the Wise.

You're Father to the Fatherless,

The Light that ever shines,

The home for every prodigal,

The reason I'm alive.
