But Then I Repented
This morning I failed to do as
I should
As Jesus stood weeping for
me;
I thought I’d do better, I thought
I would…
I just wasn’t all I should
be.
But then I repented and asked for
grace
My many sins to take away,
The blood He shed all my sins did
erase
Preparing me for Judgment
Day.
So many times I neglected His love,
And lived my life wholly
in vain;
Giving no thought to the Savior
above,
I thought only of earthly
gain.
But then I repented and asked for
grace
My many sins to take away,
The blood He shed all my sins did
erase
Preparing me for Judgment
Day.
I was offended by a weak brother
Whose speech to me was most
unkind;
I thought I’d been treated like
no other…
The hatred took root in my
mind.
But then I repented and asked for
grace
My many sins to take away,
The blood He shed all my sins did
erase
Preparing me for Judgment
Day.
I was convinced, and I knew I was
right,
I simply had to have my way;
I fought His Salvation with all
my might
In my sins I wanted to stay.
But then I repented and asked for
grace
My many sins to take away,
The blood He shed all my sins did
erase
Preparing me for Judgment
Day.
Someday this flesh shall lie lifeless
and cold,
And I’ll pass to Heaven’s
fair shore;
Then I shall walk on the Street
paved with gold
And there I will live evermore.
The victory won by His matchless
grace,
His blood takes all my sins
away;
This sinful man will then look
on His face
In the Land of eternal day.
H.L.
