Grieve, Repent, and Believe


Sin is a mad master and I was its slave

In a doleful disaster that leads to the grave

Then I heard a call to rise up and flee¬

The tomb of the fall was not my destiny

But there are times that I forget that event

I live beneath privileges  that are heaven sent

I backslide and fall short and I miss the mark

I live like an insane man here in the dark


Grieve , repent and believe

This is the way when your cross I receive

Bring me to my senses and my guilt reprieve

Grant me to grieve repent and believe

Grant me to grieve repent and believe


I am a fool when I’m prideful and proud

A haughty spirit just  living out loud

But I have a savior-if my sin I grieve

He gives the power to  repent and believe

Grieve grieve my sin to the bone

For I have sinned Lord against you alone

Your Truth I have ignored and suppressed

I failed every temptation trial and test


Grieve , repent and believe

This is the way when your cross I receive

Bring me to my senses and my guilt reprieve

Grant me to grieve repent and believe

Grant me to grieve repent and believe


Lift me from this pigsty of a place

I’ll never completely  fall from Your Grace

When your kindness and mercy availeth to me

Your righteousness comes and  sets me free.

Here on my knees confessing my sin

Lord please forgive me  forgive me again

Devastate pride, renew my mind I plea

Lord please forgive me have mercy on me


Grieve , repent and believe

This is the way when your cross I receive

Bring me to my senses and my guilt reprieve

Grant me to grieve repent and believe

Grant me to grieve repent and believe
