Repentance is a turning back...
Away from that which is not right.
For sin and error take their toll
And turn one's life into a fright.
Error often makes one stumble,
Blurring truth with it's sad song.
And having sin and courting it
Brings poor reward... because it's wrong.
Sin is oft deceptive
And will offer up much pleasure,
But it simply isn't worth it.
It brings sorrow in huge measure.
Repentance is the answer
As the path to higher ground...
A way to joy and freedom
From the chains which keep one bound.
"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
II Peter 3:9 KJV
