Lord, Forgive Us
We have not known You as we ought
Nor bowed before Your pow'r;
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 are fraught,
Our battles scarcely won.
We have not loved You as we ought
Nor cherished saving grace;
Your presence we have coldly sought,
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, break our hearts
By the grace You impart
And give us strength to fight this war.
Nor bowed before Your pow'r;
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 are fraught,
Our battles scarcely won.
We have not loved You as we ought
Nor cherished saving grace;
Your presence we have coldly sought,
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, break our hearts
By the grace You impart
And give us strength to fight this war.
