PEOPLE: No, but we have sinned against Him in thought, word, and deed. LEADER: Then confess your sins to the Lord for with Him there is mercy and abundant redemption. Corporate Confession of Sin (in unison) Eternal God, in whom we live and move and have our being, Whose face is hidden from us by our sins, and Whose mercy we forget in the blindness of our hearts: cleanse us from all our offenses, and deliver us from proud thoughts and vain desires, that with reverent and humble hearts we may draw near to You, confessing our faults, confiding in Your grace, and finding in You our refuge and strength; through Jesus Christ Your Son. Amen. 3
