God of Mercy and Compassion a Lenten Hymn

With a heavy heart I embrace 
Willingness to come forth efface
All my many unspoken crimes 
In the name of our Jesus Christ.

Beneath the breath of my still tongue
They stay struggling to flit among
Memories of stained sinful deeds.
In the name of our Jesus Christ.

To completely wholeheartedly 
Accept your judgment blessedly
For your most infinite mercy 
In the name of our Jesus Christ.

With a blithesome bosom rising
Of God's anointing sight I sing
Of place of shelter from the storm.
In the name of our Jesus Christ.
