How can I ever truly repent?

You see through my lies

You see that when you forgive

It won't be the last time for this sin

What I want to do, I don't do

And what I don't want to do, I do

Paul warns me of my weak flesh

But there's also a strong Spirit.

I am so willing to live for you

But my sin ties my hands

I fall into its trap

Then shamfully hide from you.

Lord, I am your prodigal son

I have returned, head bowed in shame

The lowest of your house are above me

To be called a slave would be a great honor

But you run up to me

And call me your son

Tears streaming down your face

Arms open for embrace.

Restore to me

The joy of your salvation

I need you in my life

Not my sin

I am clean, In you.
