Gift of Repentance



Lord give us the gift of repentance
Pardon our iniquities
Convince us of sin
Convict  us and cleanse
And heal us of sin’s black disease
Lord give us the gift of repentance
Humbly we fall to our knees
Shake our souls awake
And our stony hearts break
Till our heart with your heart agrees

So let our confession ring forth in the light
Forgiveness and pardon will be your delight
Purify and transform us and Lord make us right
By the gift of repentance tonight!

It’s your kindness that leads to repentance
All our good works  are worthless fool’s gold.
All our filthy rags smell
We deserve death and hell
But your just, holy wrath you withold!
Lord give us the gift of repentance
The purging that Your Grace supplies
Strip away all our shame
For the sake of your name
The contrite heart you’ll not despise!

So let our confession ring forth in the light
Forgiveness and pardon will be your delight
Purify and transform us and Lord make us right
By the gift of repentance tonight!
