Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.

(Frances Ridley Havergal)

We prayed prayers asking for God's forgiveness.

Father eternal, giver of light and grace,
we have sinned against you
and against our neighbour,
in what we have thought
in what we have said and done,
through ignorance, through weakness,
through our own delibeate fault.
We have wounded your love,
and marred your image in us.
We are sorry and ashamed and repent of all our sins.
For the sake of your son Jesus Christ,
who died for us
forgive us all that is past;
and lead us from darkness to walk as children of light.
Amen.
