Grant us the Gift of Repentance

Our hearts break, -Our souls ache

For this stark depravity 

The world and the devil-The flesh and the evil

Is this world’s reality

How can you forebear

With a world that just doesn’t care

So much sin, where will it end

Oh Lord when will you come again?

But till then, but till then we will

Weep, grieve, repent –believe

Weep, grieve, repent -believe

Lord grant us the gift of repentance

As your mercy we receive

We will weep, grieve, repent –believe

This malignancy- -pervades all we see

The dragon is having his way

The wicked and vile, -Corrupt and defiled

Are prospering every day

Bridge

Lord help us begin-To perceive our own SIn

Convict us restrict us we pray

Give us more grace as we fall on our face

Deliver us from our self righteous way

But there is a justice beyond this vale

God is on His throne and He will not fail

He will overcome in the end

And make all things new again.

But till then, but till then we will

Weep, grieve, repent –believe

Weep, grieve, repent -believe

Lord grant us the gift of repentance

As your mercy we receive

We will weep, grieve, repent –believe
