Repentance

“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.”

2 Corinthians 7:10 

 

Dear Lord,

 

We gather here this day

To bring you praise and glory

Lord, I long for you to come and stay

To stay and to accept my simple story

 

It is the story of my longing heart

The longing of finding you in this place

Dear Lord, what is it that keeps us still apart

Even when I come to bring to you my praise?

 

Is it because I drifted so far from your will?

Or is it my selfishness that you detest?

Then Lord, let my voice be still

And help me to give my life the rest

 

The rest I need to hear you speak to me

And to listen to Your voice

The rest to read how you want my life to be

Because it is only you I want to hear and see

So again in Your presence I will rejoice.

 

I pray Dear Lord, please draw near to me

And break my hardened heart

Then take my life and let it be

Sealed in Your hands and never be from You apart

 

Amen.
