Instrumental Intro: (We have sinned against You, holy, righteous God)
VERSE 1
Embarrassed and ashamed for the sins of our nation
We come before You, Lord, to make intercession
We have heard painful cries of the wounded and oppressed,
We bow our knees in prayer, to You we confess

CHORUS:
We have sinned against You
Holy, righteous God
We ignore, neglect You
And Your written Word
Please forgive us
Cleanse us by the Blood
We have sinned against You
Holy, righteous God. (2nd time go to Bridge, no interlude)

Instrumental Interlude: (We have sinned against You, holy, righteous God)

VERSE 2
Our land is stained with blood of our innocent children
Corruption, crime and hate fill the cities we live in
We're a desp'rately needy people, Lord, today
We come with broken hearts, to You we now pray (CHORUS then Bridge)

Bridge 2X
Have mercy, O God. Have mercy, O God
Have mercy, O God, have mercy, O God

LAST CHORUS:
We have sinned against You
Holy, righteous God
We ignore, neglect You
And Your written Word
Please forgive us
Cleanse us by the Blood
We have sinned against You
Holy, righteous God

End: repeat last 2 lines of Chorus:
We have sinned against You
Holy, righteous God
