Forgive us for what we have done….
We have sinned.
We have rebelled.
We have forgotten your works.
We have put you to the test.
We have worshipped idols.
We have grumbled, provoked, and angered you.
We have sinned.
(Kyrie #576)
Forgive us for what we have left undone….
We have not considered your wonderful works.
We have not remembered the abundance
of your steadfast love.
We have not waited for your word.
We have not had faith in your promise.
We have not served you.
(Kyrie #576)
Remember us, O Lord.
Show favor upon us, your people.
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us
that we might give thanks in your holy name
and glory in your praise.
(Kyrie #576)
