Repent - Matthew
Teaching or singing about repentance is becoming a lost conviction in todays church. After being tempted for 40 days and nights, Jesus exited the wilderness and spoke these prolific words “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand”
These words still resonate loudly today. We must repent and turn from our wicked ways.
Lyrics:
Tell me - why change… When I know in my heart I’m a really good person
Tell me - why change… I’ve given up drinking, smoking, no more cursing
Tell me - why change… I serve meals to the homeless and give to the needy
Tell me - why change… I follow the rules, I’m not selfish or greedy
But when I look in the mirror who do I see
A soul that’s wondering where it will spend eternity
Salvation is free but it comes with a cost
Repent of your sins – are your soul will be lost.
Repent, Turn around… Take the first step in a new direction
Repent, turn around… Recognize you’re a sinner and fall short of perfection
Repent, turn around… Give your life to Jesus while you still have a chance
For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
Tell me - why change: I’m in church every Sunday, never miss a Bible study
Tell me - why change: I sing songs of praise and hymns of adoration
Tell me - why change: A Faithful giver of my tithes and donations
Tell me - why change: When work to be done, you can’t match my dedication
But when I look in the mirror who do I see
A soul that’s wondering where it will spend eternity
Salvation is free but it comes with a cost
Repent of your sins – are your soul will be lost.
Repent, turn around… Take the first step in a new direction
Repent, turn around… Recognize you’re a sinner and fall short of perfection
Repent, turn around… Open your heart and let Jesus in
Repent, turn around… Let His Blood wash away your sins
But when I look in the mirror who do I see
A soul that’s wondering where it will spend eternity
Repent, turn around… Give your life to Jesus while you still have a chance
For the Kingdom of Heaven (2X)
Yes the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand
