Monday, April 21st | Psalm 32

Passage:
1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
 whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity,
 and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
 through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
 my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
5 I acknowledged my sin to you,
 and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”
 and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
(Psalm 32:1–5)

Lyrics:
I will sing for You alone have rescued this life
Jesus You have set me free
You alone took away all sin and disgrace
When You gave Your life to ransom me

I am forgiven at the foot of the cross
I am accepted by the power of Your love
My every stain is washed away
I am forgiven

Here I stand in the light of Your glory and grace
Where heaven's love and justice meet
Now I live for the One who has called me by name
Who is risen and alive in me

I'm embraced at the foot of the cross
By the love and the mercies You have lavished on us
My every stain is washed away
And I am forgiven

Prayer:
O most mighty God,
and merciful Father,
who has compassion upon all men,
and who does not despise the sighing of a contrite heart,
nor the desire of such as are sorrowful;
mercifully assist our prayers that we make before you
in all our troubles and adversities,
whensoever they oppress us;
and graciously hear us, that those evils,
which the craft and subtlety of the devil or man work against us,
may, by your good providence, be brought to nothing,
that we your servants, being hurt by no persecutions,
may evermore give thanks unto you in your holy Church;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
—Book of Common Prayer (1552)
