CONFESSING OUR SINS ( 1)
CONFESSING OUR SINS (1)
From Exodus 20/Deuteronomy 5, and Psalm 106
Hear the commandments of the Lord:
1 'You shall have no other gods but me':
2 'You shall not make for yourself any idol':
3 'You shall not dishonour the name of the Lord your God':
4 'Remember the Lord's day and keep it holy':
5 'Honour your father and your mother':
6 'You shall not murder':
7 'You shall not commit adultery':
8 'You shall not steal':
9 'You shall not be a false witness':
10 'You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbour':
Let us confess our sins to God:
O Lord our God,
we have not obeyed
your commandments,
we have not always done what is right;
in our weakness we have sinned,
we have done wrong
we have acted wickedly;
we have forgotten
your many kindnesses
and we have rebelled against you:
O Lord, forgive us and save us
bring us back and restore us;
that we may give thanks
to your holy name
and glory in your praise. Amen.
