Loving God, we come to You aware of how we fail
Selfishly we turn from You to effigies so pale
Lovingly You nourish us and offer us Your grace
Prodigally we turn to You and run to Your embrace
Contrition is not just being sorry
Contrition means you make a new start
Contrition is not beating yourself up
Contrition means renewing your heart
And growing in Love
You can see so much in us, the depths that we don't know
Watering the seeds You planted, helping them to grow
Knowing the potential that You planted long ago
You have faith in us that we can let out talents show
Contrition is not just being sorry
Contrition means you make a new start
Contrition is not beating yourself up
Contrition means renewing your heart
And growing in Love
(Instrumental)
May we truly trust in You and let Your grace take hold
Letting goodness grow within us as Your plan unfolds
Contrition is not just being sorry
Contrition means you make a new start
Contrition is not beating yourself up
Contrition means renewing your heart
And growing in Love

Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness.
In your compassion blot out my offence.
O wash me more and more from my guilt
and cleanse me from my sin.
My offences truly I know them;
my sin is always before me
Against you, you alone, have I sinned;
What is evil in your sight I have done.
