Lord, Forgive Us

We have not known you as we ought nor bowed before your power
 The things of Earth have filled our thoughts and wasted many hours
 We have not feared you as we ought nor stopped to give you praise
 By countless words and deeds and thoughts your love we have betrayed
 Lord forgive us
 By the mighty cross
 And from above rain down your love
 Lord break our hearts by the grace you impart
 And give us strength to fight this war
 We have not served you as we ought
 Commands are left undone
 Our works with wickedness our fraud
 Our battles scarcely won
 We have not loved you as we ought
 Nor chearished saving grace
 Your presence we have coldely sopped
 The world we have embraced
 Lord forgive us
 By the mighty cross
 And from above rain down your love
 Lord break our hearts by the grace you impart
 And give us strength to fight this war
 Lord forgive us
 By the mighty cross
 And give strength to fight this war
 End
