Order of Worship

CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN

1. Almighty God, we acknowledge and confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and action; we have not loved you with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength; we have not loved our neighbor as ourselves. Increase our sorrow for our sin. Lord, you are full of compassion and grace, slow to anger, and rich in mercy. Restore to us the joy of your salvation; bind up that which is broken, give light to our minds, strength to our wills, and rest to our souls. Let your word abide in us until your will has been done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Amen.

2. Merciful Heavenly Father, we confess our sins to you for you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. Have mercy upon us, oh God according to your loving kindness, according to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out our transgression. For we acknowledge our sin, and our sin is always before us. Restore unto us the joy of your salvation having been justified freely by your grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Amen.

3. Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep,
we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against Your holy laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done, and so we are helpless without You.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders, spare us, as we confess our faults, restore us, as we are penitent, according to Your promises declared to us in Christ Jesus our Lord, and grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and devout life, to the glory of Your holy name.
Amen.
