The Gift of Repentance
Man is dead in sin
not able to turn from it
held in satin's captivity
chained in sin unable to quit
But God has a gift
to meet man's urgent quest
to rid himself of his sin
so God invites as His guest
So the guest receives this gift
and so unwraps it
God has given this present
the guest has what is His
But what is the gift?
man can now turn
and repent from his sin
knowing eternally no need to burn
God's gift of repentance
gives man hope of salvation
able to live in holiness
be part of God's holy nation
Now able to turn
to truly repent
live a God honouring life
sin's curtain is now rent
