Most merciful God, we confess our words We confess our thoughts Most merciful God, we confess our deeds What we've left undone We have not loved you with our whole heart We have not loved those as they should be loved For the sake of your son, Jesus Christ Have mercy on us, forgive us That we may delight in your will And walk in your ways to the glory of your name Strengthen us in goodness by your Spirit Keep us in eternal life Amen
