Return To the Lord -Joel 2: 12,13
This is the time wait no longer
come bring all of you heart and all
show true evidence that you’re serious
fast weep and mourn obey your call
For the Lord’s day is so very great
who can stand before Him that day
only those that show true repentance
humbly confessing their sin as they pray
Give unto the Lord all your heart
rend to Him everything you’ve got
for He’s merciful and so very gracious
so return to the Lord God refuse not
This God is full of steadfast love
angry only at sin but not the sinner
wishing for them to turn around
for if they do they are on a winner
So be wise and do this now
return to the Lord without delay
while His mercy is still on offer
don’t be foolish go the Lord’s way
(‘Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning. And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of evil’)
Joel 2: 12,13 (KJV)
