We Repent (Lord Have Mercy)
Lyrics
Lord, have mercy;
we have sinned.
Lord, have mercy;
we repent.
We have done what we should not have done.
We have not done what we should have done.
In your mercy,
forgive.
Christ have mercy;
we have sinned.
Christ, have mercy;
we repent.
We have done what we should not have done.
We have not done what we should have done.
In your mercy,
forgive.

Story
A simple corporate song of confession, written for the Resound Community Songs project.
I'm not sure whether it's ironic or fitting that a song about repentance involved some repentance on my part. After I first tried it out at one of our retreats, Eleanor very graciously pointed out that perhaps it owed more to a song idea of hers than I had remembered. She was right, and it was right to add her as a co-writer.
