Corporate Confession of Sin:

LORD God, our iniquities have made a separation between us and You, and our sins have hidden Your face from us so that You do not hear. Our hands and fingers are defiled with iniquity; our lips have spoken falsehood, and our tongues mutter wickedness. Our feet run to evil; our thoughts are thoughts of iniquity. Our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities: transgressing and denying the LORD, and turning away from our God. Redeem us, O LORD, and turn us from our transgression. In Jesus' name, AMEN. (Isaiah 59)
