(Song) (Psalm)


Loving God, we come to You aware of how we fail
Selfishly we turn from You to effigies so pale
Lovingly You nourish us and offer us Your grace
Prodigally we turn to You and run to Your embrace

Contrition is not just being sorry
Contrition means you make a new start
Contrition is not beating yourself up
Contrition means renewing your heart
And growing in Love

You can see so much in us, the depths that we don't know
Watering the seeds You planted, helping them to grow
Knowing the potential that You planted long ago
You have faith in us that we can let out talents show

Contrition is not just being sorry
Contrition means you make a new start
Contrition is not beating yourself up
Contrition means renewing your heart
And growing in Love

(Instrumental)

May we truly trust in You and let Your grace take hold
Letting goodness grow within us as Your plan unfolds

Contrition is not just being sorry
Contrition means you make a new start
Contrition is not beating yourself up
Contrition means renewing your heart
And growing in Love
 Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness.
In your compassion blot out my offence.
O wash me more and more from my guilt

and cleanse me from my sin.








My offences truly I know them;

my sin is always before me








Against you, you alone, have I sinned;

What is evil in your sight I have done.


Isaiah 57:14-15

And it shall be said, "Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from my people's way."
For thus says nthe One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is oHoly:
"I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite".

cf: Matthew 1:1-8, Psalm 51:10, Ezekiel 36:26, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Philippians 1:6
