I will confess my sins by Jennifer Bastable — Lyrics
Ipsi David intellectus. Beati quorum remissae sunt iniquitates, et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu ejus dolus.
Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.
Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua,
conversus sum in aerumna mea, dum configitur spina.
Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci, et injustitiam meam non abscondi.
Dixi: Confitebor adversum me injustitiam meam Domino; et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.
Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore opportuno.
Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt.

About I will confess my sins
Jennifer Bastable sets a deeply personal text, drawing from Psalm 32. The words express profound introspection on sin and its confession, moving from the burden of silence to the relief of divine forgiveness. The composer weaves together Latin and English, mirroring the universality of this spiritual journey. This sacred anthem for SATB choir offers a powerful exploration of penitence and absolution, providing a moving reflective moment for any choral programme. The flowing musical lines and direct expression of the text make it an accessible and emotionally resonant choice for choirs seeking a piece that speaks to the heart of human experience and faith.
