No one prays to you.
    No one asks you for help.
You have turned your face away from us.
    You have let us feel the effects of our sins.

Lord, you are our Father.
    We are the clay. You are the potter.
    Your hands made all of us.
Don’t be so angry with us, Lord.
    Don’t remember our sins anymore.
Please have mercy on us.
    All of us belong to you.

    We are the clay, you are the potter;(F)
    we are all the work of your hand.(G)
Do not be angry(H) beyond measure, Lord;
    do not remember our sins(I) forever.
Oh, look on us, we pray,
    for we are all your people.(J)
