Lord, we confess our many faults And how great our guilt has been Foolish and vain were all of our thoughts No good could come from within BUT BY THE MERCY OF OUR GOD ALL OF OUR HOPES BEGIN AND BY THE WATER AND THE BLOOD OUR SOULS ARE WASHED FROM SIN OUR SOULS ARE WASHED It's not by the works of righteousness Which our own hands have done But we are saved by our Father's grace Abounding through His Son BUT BY THE MERCY OF OUR GOD ALL OF OUR HOPES BEGIN AND BY THE WATER AND THE BLOOD OUR SOULS ARE WASHED FROM SIN OUR SOULS ARE WASHED Oh we are saved by our Father's grace Abounding through His Son Abounding through His Son But by the mercy of our God All of our hopes begin And by the water and the blood Our souls are washed Our souls are washed Our souls are washed From sin
