The Gift of Repentance


They say repentance is a gift

Granted by God to his own

So receive it now and heal the rift

In the fellowship that you have known

Come stand spotless before God’s throne


You who are guilty lay your sins down

Here at the throne of God’s grace

The peace you need most can be found

Know the burden of sin is erased

Here at this most holy place


This is a truth that we can trust

God who is faithful and is just

If our sins we will confess

Will forgive our sins

And completely cleanse

Us of all unrighteousness


This glorious gift of repentance

From the just justifier’s grace

We become the righteousness of God

As we behold Jesus face to face


God made Christ to be sin for our sake

Though He knew no sin, 

So a new creation he would make

Into the righteousness of God in Him

Transformed  and conformed we begin…


You who are guilty lay your sins down

Here at the throne of God’s grace

The peace you need most can be found

Know the burden of sin is erased

Here at this most holy place


This glorious gift of repentance

From the just justifier’s grace

We become the righteousness of God

As we behold Jesus face to face


(1 John 1:9;  Corinthians 5:21; Jude 1:24; 2 Cor 4:6)
