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)
