Author: Kurt E. Reinhardt, b. 1969 Hymnal: Christian Worship #657 (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Baptismal waters cover me
as I approach on bended knee;
my Father’s mercy here I plead,
for grievous sins of thought and deed.
2 I look to Christ upon the tree,
his body broken there for me;
I lay before him all my sin,
my darkest secrets from within.
3 Lord, may your wounded hand impart
your healing to my broken heart;
your love alone can form in me
a heart that serves you joyfully.
4 From your own mouth comes forth a word;
your Shepherd speaks, but you are heard;
through him your hand now stretches out,
forgiving sin, destroying doubt.
5 Baptismal waters cover me;
Christ’s wounded hand has set me free.
Held in my Father’s strong embrace,
with joy I praise him for his grace. Topics: Confession and Absolution Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-23 Languages: English Tune Title: GOTTLOB, ES GEHT NUNMEHR ZU ENDE
