My Sins Against Both God And Man

Liturgical Use: Christmas 
Text: Thomas Fischer
Tune: “On Jordan's Bank The Baptist's Cry" 
Suggested Usage: Confession/Absolution

All: (Sung) My sins against both God and man
Are more than I can comprehend.
They weigh me down, I cry to Thee,
O God, be merciful to me!

My heart shuts out my neighbor’s need,
My life goes dead with all my greed.
Lord, take away the death of pride.
Make me alive and care inside.

ABSOLUTION:

Pastor: (Chanted) Oh sinner, let Christ’s sacrifice
Remove your guilt; He paid the price
Receive forgiveness for your sin;
In Jesus’ name, be cleansed within. 

All: (Sung) O let us sing and celebrate
Our Lord forgives; He does not hate.
He lives to heal us with His love,
He reigns to bring us joy above.
