ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN
SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD
The hatred which divides nation from nation,
race from race, class from class,
FATHER FORGIVE
The covetous desires of people and nations
to possess what is not their own,
FATHER FORGIVE
The greed which exploits the work of human hands
and lays waste the earth,
FATHER FORGIVE
Our envy of welfare
and happiness of others,
FATHER FORGIVE
Our indifference to the plight of
imprisoned, the homeless, the refugee,
FATHER FORGIVE
The lust which dishonours the bodies
of men, women and children,
FATHER FORGIVE
The pride which leads us to trust
in ourselves and not in God
FATHER FORGIVE
BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER,
TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER,
AS GOD IN CHRIST FORGAVE YOU.
