Scripture References:

Vs 1 Forgive us now, O God of love

For all the pain that we have sown

For all the broken hearts we’ve left

And all the words we’ve left unsaid

Forgive us gracious God of life

Vs 2 Forgive us now, O mother love

For all the idols we have built

For all the time we’ve worshipped there

In company of dark despair

Forgive us mother of all hope

Ch As we forgive, may we be healed

As we reach out, may you be near

And take our hand to comfort bring

So we can face the start again

Vs 3 Forgive us now, O holy one

For crimes committed in your name

For all the holy wars we wage

For all the children we enslave

Forgive us now O holy one

Vs 4 Forgive us now, O Jesus Christ

For all the pride before the fall

For all the times our heart was cold

For all the monologues we’ve told

Forgive us Jesus of new life
