Repentance

There is a grieving in my heart
For the wasted opportunities
That never bore fruit in their season
They were consumed in vanity.

Forgive me Lord and take control
Lord forgive me for the hardness
That you find here in my soul
Restore me Lord and make me whole

Break my heart and rend my veil
I have sought my soul to shield
I am not faithful, am not true
So help me fully yield myself to You.

I have cast my heart before the swine
To eat the slop that this world serves
I have desecrated this holy place
By casting my eyes on the dark and disturbed.

So purify this hard heart
Consecrate this muddled mind
Empower my poor spirit
And destroy the chains that bind

Break my heart and rend my veil
I have sought my soul to shield
I am not faithful, am not true
So help me fully yield myself to You.
