Corporate Confession of Sin -
“I am reduced to a horrible condition. I have sinned, and what can I say to you, O God? I was a fool to amuse myself with petty excuses, and to imagine they would carry any weight in your presence. Now I am silent. I am a criminal in the hands of justice, disarmed, stripped of the weapons I once trusted. I know that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God. But there is forgiveness, mercy, and redemption with you. You will not despise a broken and a contrite heart. You have said that if we confess our sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
