Loving God, Mother of us all,
You gather us like chicks under your wings;
Forgive us when we do not turn to you.

Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy
 
Saviour God, bearer of our sins,
By your labour pains you bring us to new life;
Forgive us when we settle for less than life in all its fullness.

Christ have mercy
Christ have mercy
 
Life-giving God, spirit of fire,
You nurture us with the strength and power of your love;
Forgive us when we fail to see ourselves and others as children of God.

Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy
