Troquemos Nossa Veste

Let's exchange our garment for ashes and sackcloth
Let's weep, fasting before the Lord
For our God is full of kindness
Able to forgive our sins

Have mercy, O my God, mercy!
In the vastness of your love, purify me!
Wash me completely from sin
And completely erase my guilt!

I acknowledge all my iniquity
My sin is always before me
It was against you, only against you, that I sinned
And did what is evil in your eyes!

You show how just you are in judgment
And how right the judgment you make
See, Lord, that I was born in iniquity
And sinner my mother conceived me

But you love sincere hearts
In intimacy you teach me wisdom
Sprinkle me and I will be pure from sin
And whiter than snow I will be
