Confession

This is our confession
that we need you, dearest Lord.
we’ve failed to learn the lesson
that experience affords

Oh, these idols holy in our sight
golden calfs of things we’ve gotten right.

How could we so soon forget heart-broken Calvary?
Be the clay for eyes that have forgotten how to see.
Lay these atlars low and in submission at your feet
till the day we come on bended knee.

This is a confession
of our arrogance and pride
but water flows for healing
from your ever-wounded side.

Oh, these rules we make to take your place,
where once we stood and trembled at your grace.

How could we so soon forget heart-broken Calvary?
Be the clay for eyes that have forgotten how to see.
Lay these atlars low and in submission at your feet
till the day we come on bended knee.

Will you not forgive us
and give us life anew?
Will you stand in mercy
as we come to worship you?

Oh, we lay our praises at your feet
and crawl to where the waves will wash us clean.

How could we so soon forget heart-broken Calvary?
Be the clay for eyes that have forgotten how to see.
Lay these atlars low and in submission at your feet
till the day we come on bended knee.
