When the people, fearing God, cried out with one voice....Were they singing?
Was someone signing and they were saying the words in unison? I do sense that the latter is what happened.
Lamenting our sins, with one voice.
Please forgive us our carnal state.
To speak Thy Son's name, we rejoice.
Oh have mercy and apply the
Atoning blood of Christ.
Help us to be more repentant,
With our hearts more purified.
May we be filled with Thy spirit,
For a remission of our sins.
May Thy mercy shine upon us.
With grace. Please forgive us and cleanse.
We feel less that the earth
Even less than unwelcome dust
Help us realize our worth
The potential within each of us
Verse 1]
Heavenly Father, we cry aloud
Lamenting our sins, with one voice
Please forgive us our carnal state
To speak Thy Son's name, we rejoice
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh have mercy
And apply
The Atoning blood of Christ
Help us be more repentant
With our hearts more purified
[Chorus]
Please forgive us
And cleanse us
Please forgive us
And cleanse us
May Thy mercy shine upon us
With grace, with grace
[Verse 2]
May we be filled with Thy spirit
For a remission of our sins
We lean in low
We come again
And ask You to begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh have mercy
And apply
The Atoning blood of Christ
Help us be more repentant
With our hearts more purified
[Chorus]
Please forgive us
And cleanse us
Please forgive us
And cleanse us
May Thy mercy shine upon us
With grace, with grace
[Bridge]
We feel less than the earth
Even less than unwelcome dust
Help us realize our worth
The potential within each of us
[Final Chorus]
Please forgive us
And cleanse us
Please forgive us
And cleanse us
May Thy mercy shine upon us
With grace, with grace
King Benjamin continues his address—Salvation comes because of the Atonement—Believe in God to be saved—Retain a remission of your sins through faithfulness—Impart of your substance to the poor—Do all things in wisdom and order. About 124 B.C.
1 And now, it came to pass that when king Benjamin had made an end of speaking the words which had been delivered unto him by the angel of the Lord, that he cast his eyes round about on the multitude, and behold they had fallen to the earth, for the fear of the Lord had come upon them.
2 And they had viewed themselves in their own carnal state, even less than the dust of the earth. And they all cried aloud with one voice, saying: O have mercy, and apply the atoning blood of Christ that we may receive forgiveness of our sins, and our hearts may be purified; for we believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who created heaven and earth, and all things; who shall come down among the children of men.
