Many Thanx Dean Smith-Belton
I
A few weeks ago, he gave a message
I barely contained tears, repentant heart
Yes, I was in church, and he's an elder
Refuses the title of pastor. Deserves it ever
My wife and I can talk, fellowship, listen
To a man - divorced 20 years - pure
As far as this world goes, purer still
In studying, glorying in God's known

Jesus Meet Me In the Closet-
Oh, Jesus (Jesus)
I come before you in my dirty rags;
I am wearing my sin clothing;
Jesus, meet me in the closet;
I am praying;
Lord I am undressing;
Naked I be mentally freed;
My sinful(sin filled) clothes, lay on the floor;
Jesus, meet me in the closet;
Meet me in the closet,
Meet me in the closet,
There are no clothes hanging on the

Come Ever To Repenting--
Ever
Ever closer come
Come unto my freedom arms
Come run from
Away
Won't you come
till your freedom moans
Grows inside your perfect mind
Come, come go with me now
Stand, stand up for what you believe is HOW!!
How is the prize to be won
If your ever sober, yet drunk in love with yourself
Selfish, delirious, burden sown
Life is torn
Never
Never closer to come
Embraced, encapsulated

We Our Souls Will Spend Our Time Repenting
we our souls will spend our time repenting
but the body of truth always comes to light
in drawing an end to come with true believers
so they can see the many faces of the Devil
greed in this world money takes over always
as they worship first with the Devil’s tools
invading our space all

Repenting Peter El Greco

Repenting Enduring Repeating
Repenting Enduring Repeating
Lost in an abyss of thoughts
Disappointments oblivion brought.
Self-centered loathing caught.
This, instead of perfection sought.
Confusion instead of understanding –
Weariness instead of perkiness –
Paranoia instead of certainty –
This, instead of gladness sought.
Why? I read words and want to cry.
I seek hope, but wish to die.
I have lost the will to try.
This, never-ending onslaught…
Bombards my

The Repenting Sinner
for so many years I've walked about
carrying my load of sin.
