Passage:
1 There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? 3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 5 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
(Luke 13:1-5 ESV)
Song:
Song of Repentance by Esther-Jane White, Lauren Harris, Mark Vallance, and Nick Herbert
Lyrics:
We’ve fallen short
We’ve wandered far from Your ways
Forgive us O Lord
We’ve sinned against Your name
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
This is a song of repentance
This is a plea to Your heart
Would You purify us Lord
Open Your hand to deliver
Reach down in power to save
You are Holy God
God keep us close
Held in Your promise of grace
Come change our hearts
Restore who we are we pray
Now Almighty One
All-consuming love
Lord remember us
Make us holy
For the sake of Christ
We lay down our lives
O now Church arise
For His glory
This is a song of revival
Let holiness flood through this land
Would You purify us Lord
Would You purify us Lord
Prayer:
O Almighty and merciful Father, you pour your benefits upon us—forgive the unthankfulness with which we have requited your goodness. We have remained before you with dead and senseless hearts, unkindled with love of your gentle and enduring goodness. Turn us, O merciful Father, and so shall we be turned. Make us with our whole heart to hunger and thirst after you, and with all our longing to desire you. Amen.
– Anselm
