Repent

Apologize to God
And make your atonement
Be ashamed
And contrite

Be so deeply sorry 
Bewailing your discretion
Feeling all the remorse
In deploring your sins

Relent these acts
And reproach yourself
Seeing the error of your ways
So filled with sorrow

Have many qualms
As you lament these deeds
Feel every regret
And begin to reform
