Hear us now O loving God
We pray for this our world
Oh hear the words of our confession
We have bowed to other gods
And crowded out your voice
Allowed injustice and oppression
Oh when will we return to you?
Father, Father
Turn us back to loving you
For only you deserve the praise
Only you deserve the song
O Lord, it all belongs to you
Only you deserve the love
Only you deserve the thanks
Oh Lord, it all belongs to you
For the children of this land
We lift to you our hands
And ask you Father please have mercy
For innocence betrayed
Forgive us Lord we pray
And once again pour out your Spirit
Oh when will we return to you?
Father, Father
Turn us back to loving you
For the earth in deep distress
Our greed our selfishness
Oh hear the words of our confession
Oh teach us how to share
Restore, renew, repair
And welcome in your new creation
Oh when will we return to you?
Father, Father
Turn us back to loving you
Hear us now O loving God
We pray for this our world
Oh hear the words of our confession
