Repentance

Repentance is turning away,

Choosing to change and not just pray.

Wanting to make a difference taking the step

Leaving behind the things that bring regret.

 

Trying your best to discern what’s pushing you away

And asking the Lord to guide you each day

Realigning your thoughts with what God has said

Letting His Word renew your heart and your head

 

It’s tough, but it’s possible though it takes work

To follow His path when temptation may lurk

You may fall down but get up once more

His mercy is waiting just as before

 

Stay close to the Lord and trust what He says

Even when you’re confused or filled with distress

When you don’t understand the road up ahead

Hold onto His promises and do what He said

 

Repentance is more than feeling ashamed

It’s turning to God and becoming changed

It’s choosing His ways when your flesh says no

And trusting His timing wherever you go

 

You won’t get it perfect so don’t be afraid

His grace is sufficient for every mistake

Keep seeking His presence keep walking in light

Keep fighting the good fight with all of your might

 

So, when you feel distant return to His side

When you feel weak let His strength be your guide

Keep your eyes on Jesus whatever you face

For every true step brings you closer to grace

 

Repent keep believing and walk in His way

Keep choosing His truth, keep trusting each day

You may stumble but don’t let your heart stray

Turn back to the Lord and keep walking His way
