Confiteor

Almighty God
I have greatly sinned
In my thoughts and in my words

Confiteor to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
I have greatly sinned

Almighty God
I have greatly sinned
in what I have done,

Confiteor to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
I have greatly sinned

Almighty God
I have greatly sinned
and in what I have failed to do;

Confiteor to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
I have greatly sinned

I have greatly sinned
through my fault
through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;

I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Confiteor to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
I have greatly sinned
I have greatly sinned
I have greatly sinned

STORY BOARD

SONG OVERVIEW

Written and produced by Tasmanian Songwriter Jason Bresnehan, Confiteor is a musical arrangement in the Sacred Chamber Music / Classical genre with a choir vocal. The song draws directly from the Confiteor prayer of the Catholic Mass, transforming one of the Church’s most recognisable penitential prayers into a communal act of sacred music. Rather than telling a narrative story, the composition invites the listener into a shared moment of humility, repentance and preparation before God.

The lyrics remain closely aligned to the words prayed by Catholics throughout the world. The repeated phrases, “I have greatly sinned” and “through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault,” create a solemn reflection upon personal responsibility and the human condition. The song is not focused on guilt for its own sake. Instead, it reflects the Christian understanding that genuine repentance begins with honesty, acknowledging both what we have done and what we have failed to do, before seeking forgiveness, mercy and reconciliation with God.

The artwork depicts a congregation gathered within a cathedral flooded with golden light beneath a towering pipe organ. The scene reflects the communal nature of the Confiteor, where individuals acknowledge their faults not as isolated people but as members of a wider faith community. The light pouring through the church symbolises mercy and grace descending upon those gathered in prayer, while the great organ reinforces the sacred and timeless character of worship within the Church.

This song forms part of the Sacred Chamber Music Collection by Seventh Ribbon Music.
