HYMN OF PRAISE                                 Create in Me a Clean Heart” – GTG 422

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Through the season of Lent, O God,
  we have prayed for clean hearts and right spirits.
Forgive us, O Lord, if we have prayed with our words
  but failed to pray with our actions.
Forgive us of what we have done
  that has contributed to the suffering of another,
  and forgive us of what we have failed to do
  that could have lightened a neighbor’s burden.
Forgive us, O God, and wash us in your mercy.
Forgive us, O God, and free us to try again.
