Lyrics (Psalm 32:1-2, 5, 11):

Response: I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble,
and you fill me with the joy of salvation.

stained glass bulletBlessed is he whose fault is taken away,
whose sin is covered.
Blessed the man to whom the Lord imputes not guilt,
in whose spirit there is no guile. Response

stained glass bulletThen I acknowledged my sin to you,
my guilt I covered not.
I said, "I confess my faults to the Lord,"
and you took away the guilt of my sin. Response

stained glass bulletBe glad in the Lord and rejoice, you just;
exult, all you upright of heart. Response
