1. Our God, you bless everyonewhose sins you forgiveand wipe away.
2. You bless them by saying,“You told me your sins,without trying to hide them,and now I forgive you.”
3. Before I confessed my sins,my bones felt limp,and I groaned all day long.
4. Night and day your handweighed heavily on me,and my strength was goneas in the summer heat.
5. So I confessed my sinsand told them all to you.I said, “I'll tell the Lordeach one of my sins.”Then you forgave meand took away my guilt.
6. We worship you, Lord,and we should always praywhenever we find outthat we have sinned.Then we won't be swept awayby a raging flood.
